This 6-hour pontoon rental from Pelican Pontoon Company gives you complete freedom to explore Fort Walton Beach's most beautiful waterways at your own pace.

Your day kicks off with a smooth check-in process right at the dock – no hassles, no long waits, just you and your group getting ready to hit the water. The beauty of this cruise experience is that you're the captain of your own adventure. Want to spend two hours at Crab Island mingling with other boaters and enjoying the shallow, clear waters? Go for it. Feel like cruising the Intracoastal Waterway to spot dolphins and take in the coastal scenery? The choice is yours. The Santa Rosa Sound offers some of the most protected and scenic waters on the Gulf Coast, making it ideal for first-time pontoon cruisers and seasoned water enthusiasts alike. Free parking means you can focus on what matters – enjoying every minute of your time on the water. The Emerald Coast's signature turquoise waters provide a stunning backdrop whether you're swimming, floating, or just relaxing with a cold drink in hand.
Don't worry if you've never piloted a pontoon before – these boats are designed for easy handling and maximum comfort. Pontoons are incredibly stable thanks to their twin-hull design, making them perfect for families with kids or anyone who wants a smooth, relaxed cruise experience. The boat comes equipped with all necessary safety gear, and the Pelican Pontoon team provides a thorough orientation before you set off. You'll learn basic navigation, anchoring techniques, and local water rules to ensure your trip goes off without a hitch. The shallow draft of pontoon boats means you can cruise into areas where larger vessels can't go, giving you access to secluded spots and calm backwaters. Keep in mind there's a mandatory $75 protection plan included in your rental, covering up to $1,000 in accidental damages – giving you peace of mind to focus on having fun rather than worrying about every little bump or scrape.
The waters around Fort Walton Beach are teeming with marine life that'll make your cruise even more special. Bottlenose dolphins are year-round residents here, and you'll often spot pods of them playing in the boat wakes or hunting in the shallow grass flats. These intelligent mammals are most active in the early morning and late afternoon, so keep your eyes peeled during those times. They're curious creatures and might even approach your anchored pontoon if you're lucky. The area's seagrass beds are home to manatees, especially during the cooler months from November through March when they seek out the warmer waters of the sound. These gentle giants can grow up to 12 feet long and weigh over 1,000 pounds, making for an awe-inspiring encounter when they surface near your boat. Sea turtles, including loggerheads and green turtles, are common sights during summer months as they feed in the grass flats and cruise the deeper channels. Spotting one of these ancient mariners popping up for air is always a highlight that gets everyone on board excited and reaching for their cameras.
