Your total includes the private vessel rental and the captain’s fee (paid directly to your chosen pro).
1:30 PM departures reflect a slight peak-time adjustment.

30A Pontoon Rental: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Where do we meet for our 30A charter?
To save you the most time and traffic, we depart from the closest private launch point to the 30A area (Cessna Landing). This location is just a short 15-25 minute drive from Santa Rosa Beach, Seaside, and WaterColor. We will send a precise GPS pin directly to your phone as soon as you book!
2. How does the Captain work? (The Bareboat Process)
As a bareboat charter, you are renting the vessel. To make your day stress-free, we provide a vetted list of experienced, professional captains who are intimately familiar with our pontoons. You will select and pay your captain directly. This ensures you have a dedicated pro handling the navigation while you enjoy the sun.
3. Is ice included?
Yes! We know the “30A lifestyle” doesn’t include hauling heavy bags of ice from a gas station. We provide a premium 80-100 qt cooler already stocked with fresh ice on every charter. Just bring your favorite drinks and snacks, and you’re ready to go.
4. How far is the ride to Crab Island?
The beauty of departing from our 30A launch is the scenic ride! You’ll enjoy a beautiful, calm cruise through the Choctawhatchee Bay. Depending on conditions, it’s a relaxing 45+ minutes depending on wind—and remember, the party starts the moment you step on the boat, not just when you reach the sandbar.
5. Can we bring our own decorations?
Absolutely! We love a good celebration. Whether it’s a bachelorette party or a birthday, you are welcome to bring decorations. If you’d like a custom setup waiting for you when you arrive, just let us know, and we can coordinate a “VIP Decor Package” for your group.
6. What should we bring?
We’ve got the boat, the captain list, the ice, and the Lily Pad ready. You just need to bring:
Your favorite beverages and snacks.
Sunscreen (please use lotion, as sprays can make the boat floors slippery!).
Towels and swimwear.
A playlist! Our pontoons feature high-end Bluetooth sound systems.
6. Easy Booking & Cancellation
Full Refund: Cancel at least 3 days before your trip for a 100% refund.
Safety First: If the Captain cancels due to unsafe weather, you get a full refund or a free reschedule.
No Stress: We handle the logistics so you can focus on the fun.
