Fort Walton Beach Pontoon Boat Rentals — Explore The Gulf Coast
There’s nothing quite like spending a day on the emerald waters of Fort Walton Beach with friends and family. At Xtreme H2O, we’ve got the best pontoon boat rentals in Fort Walton Beach.
Our expert staff studied various pontoon boat designs so that our rentals would be the best along the Fort Walton Beach Gulf Coast. Fast and flashy usually capture our attention, but when we really get down to it, visitors are looking for an easy-to-drive, cost-efficient Fort Walton Beach pontoon boat rental like our 60 HP, 24 ft pontoon boats.
Fort Walton Beach Boat Rentals
A pontoon is the most practical boat rental in Fort Walton Beach for families and groups: stable, shaded, easy to drive, and roomy enough that nobody spends the day sitting on a cooler. No boating license is required if you were born before January 1, 1988. If you were born on or after that date, we will sort your temporary certificate at check-in.
We launch from Okaloosa Island into Santa Rosa Sound, which is the calm side of the water. Crab Island is a straightforward run from the dock, and the Sound is well suited to a slow day of swimming, anchoring and lunch rather than a long open-Gulf crossing.
Half day boat rentals run four hours and full day rentals run eight. If you want the slide, book the double decker early. It is the first boat to go on summer weekends.
Our Pontoon Boat Rentals Seating Capacity & Features
Get up to 12 friends or family members together for a day on the Choctwhatchee Bay! Our pontoon boat rentals are spacious, comfortable, and they all have plenty of shade under the Bimini Tops! Our Fort Walton Beach pontoon boat rentals come equipped with a removable table and a Bluetooth capable radio.
What you’ll love about our pontoon boat rentals:
- Shade coverage
- Comfy seating so everyone can relax
- A table for snacks, drinks, and card games
Cruising Speed of Our Pontoon Rentals in Fort Walton Beach, FL
The best aspect of this engine pairing is the midrange performance. Our Fort Walton Beach pontoon boat rentals reach up to 25 mph, but we suggest a cruising speed of 15 mph. At this speed, engine noises are low and will allow you and your guests to have a normal conversation while enjoying the Bluetooth enabled sound system.

Booking the double-decker slide pontoon? Those depart from the two Destin Harbor docks — your listing and confirmation name the exact one.
Where to Park
Xtreme H2O of FWB (169 Brooks St SE): parking at the Fort Walton Beach dock is paid — there are no free spaces, so budget for it and carpool where you can.
Xtreme H2O (7 Calhoun Ave): marina parking sits right at the dock; summer weekends fill fast, so give yourself a cushion to grab a spot.
Destin X (214 Harbor Blvd): a paid public lot sits directly across the street from the dock.
Gilligan’s Watersports (530 Harbor Blvd): free spaces at the dock go first come, first served; if the lot is full, overflow parking waits just up the hill at 531 Mountain Drive.
Checking In
Driving the boat yourself? Start with the paperwork: anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 who takes the wheel needs a Florida boater safety certificate. Completing the Florida temporary boater test online before arrival makes check-in easier and faster; a $3 NASBLA test is also available at the dock — just budget extra time for it. Then arrive 45 minutes early with a photo ID for every driver and your confirmation number.
Good to bring: a stocked cooler, sunscreen, towels, and water shoes for sandbar stops.
