About this Experience

What you'll do:

Step onto the largest double-decker pontoon on the 30A coast, climb the upper deck, and launch down the built-in slide straight into the Gulf.

  • Cruise the 30A coastline – Glide past Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and Seaside on a 150 or 200 HP tritoon built for groups up to your full party size.

  • Take the plunge – Climb to the second deck of the double-decker pontoon and slide directly into the water, again and again.

  • Upgrade your gear – Add floating pads, paddle boards, tubes, and a karaoke machine to turn the deck into a floating party.

  • Hand off the wheel – Book a professional captain so every guest in your group can actually enjoy the ride.

  • Pick your platform – Choose between the 30A pontoon rental fleet, a quiet electric Duffy boat for sunset, or a 50–75 foot luxury yacht charter for the full upgrade.

By the end of the day, your group has the kind of photos people text each other a week later. The boat does the heavy lifting; you just show up.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Double-decker tritoons with slides – The single most photographed feature on the water in 30A, and you get the biggest version of it.

  • 50–75 foot luxury yachts – Step up to a full private yacht charter when the occasion calls for something bigger than a pontoon.

  • High-horsepower tritoons – 150 and 200 HP engines mean you get to your snorkel spot or sandbar fast, not 45 minutes later.

  • Add-on menu – Karaoke, paddle boards, tubes, floating pads, and coolers turn a boat ride into an actual event.

  • Captain and shuttle service – Professional captains and door-to-dock shuttles mean no one in your group is driving, parking, or worrying.
