This place is great. I'm a local and have rented many pontoons. These guys double decker with slides was the studies and had the largest engines so far. I will 100% rent from them again.

I usually use another rental company but I decided to try Dockside and was very pleased.

We had such a great time with Dockside. Our experience with them from start to finish was honestly seamless and just so good. Brandon & Kyle were genuine good hearted guys and we will 100% rent from them again. Boat was great, their recommendations were awesome. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had always wanted to rent a boat, but for some reason it always seemed stressful and complicated. Not at dockside watersports! I shopped around all the other pontoon options, there was another cheaper option for $200 for 2 hours, but docksides cheapest option is $250 for 4 hours. That's twice the time for $50 more. There fees also weren't as high as other places. You need a temporary Florida boating license to rent a boat, but they send you to a link that costs $100 and only takes about 15 minutes to compete the boater safety course on the phone. You can get the boaters license cheaper if you do it in advance before you come and take the full course. Anyways, the people were super friendly, I was running a little late and they were super understanding. They have a ramp where you take you're car down and can unload right into the boats. The dock hands were also super friendly and helpful. The whole process was super easy and we had a great time

I love Dockside Watersports! The staff is always friendly, the boats are always clean, the prices are excellent. This was my third rental. I look forward to the next. My friends and family were super-impressed. Thanks for making me look good!

We took a quick trip to Destin with our girls. Decided to rent a pontoon and hang out for the day at crab island. The rental was seamless, the crew was so helpful and made for a great experience! We will be back in June and plan on using Dockside again! :-)

The online reservation was a breeze & on point. The check in staff cordial & efficient. The instructions were clear and succinct. If you have any boating experience you will be capable of enjoying a great time in the bay. Crab Island is something we have never before experienced. What a kick! We also anchored off the beach allowing us to enjoy a quieter time to float & slide. A half day was the right amount of time for our family including 9 teen grandkids.

We had a great experience at Dockside Watersports. We rented a pontoon boat for 4 hours and Kyle was our captain. He was great and made sure we had a stress free, enjoyable experience! I will definitely be using them again on our next trip to Destin!

We purchased an 8 hour rental. Service was great. Took less than 5 minutes to get checked in. Our boat was nice and in great shape.

I recently spent a week in Destin. The day I rented the a Pontoon from Dockside Watersports was the best day of my vacation. We had some unexpected weather that wouldn't have prevented us from going out but would have made it less fun. They quickly helped me to reschedule with no muss or fuss. Everybody was friendly and efficient. I would absolutely rent from them again.

Rented 2 ea. 12-Pax Pontoon Boats for 1/2 day trip. Great pre- and post-rental support by the Dockside Watersports Staff. Equipment worked great and the experience was both professional and quality in every aspect. Dockside Watersports did an Exceptional Job with our rentals, with great fun had by all!!

Booked a half-day trip through Dockside and it was all we could ask for. Located within minutes of Crab Island, Norriego Point and so many other snorkeling spots, we were truly able to make the most of our day. The staff was incredible, super knowledgeable about the local area and very helpful Captains on hand to guide you safely in and out of the dock. We’ll be back for sure!!

We have been renting from Dockside motorsports for years and it never has been a disappointment. The service quality and the pricing are in my opinion the best you will find anywhere in the Destin area. We will continue to go there every year that we visit Destin.

I just want to come on here and thank Brandon and Stanley Jacob Tucker Turner, for going above and beyond for our Crab Island experience on top of that helping with car trouble which they didn’t have to! Go with dockside Watersports you won’t regret it! 10/10
