This place is great! I love coming here with my family. Rachel especially was so helpful and made our experience even better!! We will be returning soon. Thank you Island Watersports Company and Rachel!!
This was a wonderful experience. We didn t have to wait, the boats were like new condition. There was no boat traffic which was great compared to the marina at the Emerald Grande. Highly recommend.
Rented a pontoon boat. Staff was great. We were told the boats were about 8 months old, but the boat we had was kindof beat up and we were passed by other similar pontoon boats. I suggest that the staff tell people where to go to dock the boat and gets some drinks/food. Perhaps I should have asked. It wasn't very busy as far as boating was concerned but I couldn't seem to find anywhere to dock. Also, I recommend that they provide a better map showing where things are located.
No one could ask for better dock service and boat. Staff very helpful and polite. There boats are brand new Bently pontoon boats. Very classy and no advertisements on side of boat to make you feel like a billboard. To top it off, prices are the same or cheaper than the rest.
We had a blast at crab island,10 min ride, and saw plenty of jets and military planes. Stopped to snorkel in the bay and found lots of hermit crabs.
Also, Fudpuckers has a nice grill restaurant and alligators that you can FEED and HOLD. We didn't eat here so can't review the food, but it sure smelled good.
GO HERE.
Had an absolutely fabulous day today!!! First time we ve been paddle boarding and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly! Lilly was so patient with us helping get our twin 4 year olds comfortable! Thank y all so much for a wonderful day and we ll definitely see y all again soon!!!
Rent here!! This company is amazing. Online reservation process was a breeze. Lily and Rachel are awesome. They got lifejackets for our little ones and helped us with paperwork. The boat was top notch! Great quality at a great price. Highly recommend this company and we will be returning.
We won a contest and an all day pontoon boat rental was our prize. We went on my birthday and we had a blast. They were top notch and was a pleasure to be around. Use them. You will be disappointed.
JACK WAS AMAZING!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SERVICE!! VERY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE.
ONE LOVE FROM HOUSTON TEXAS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
First class operation!!! Thanks to Ashley & Lee!!!! Best boats and best service on the Beach!!!
We rented a pontoon for a full day. Price was very reasonable. But the real treat here is that this place has absolutely exceptional customer service. The entire staff did everything they could to make us feel welcome and made sure that my family had an amazing day on the water. There is no doubt that we will be renting again from here.
We did a full day pontoon rental while on vacation in Ft Walton. We took our three kids to crab island for about 4 hrs and then took the pontoon out and cruised around the bay. We saw a huge sea turtle out in the middle of the bay, a few sting rays, and about 8 dolphins. I turned the pontoon off and the dolphins were swimming around the pontoon for about an hour. I definitely recommend this to everyone, especially if you are staying at the Destin West condos. They are right next door and you can walk right over. Very convenient. Excellent service and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Their price was a lot better than the other ones. They helped our family have an amazing experience that will be talked about for years to come. Thanks again!!
I rented a pontoon over the weekend, and the experience was great. This was our first time renting from them and I would highly suggest to anybody to use them. They made sure we knew all of the ins and outs of the boat as well as helping us with all our needs before and after our boat trip. I was also impressed on the quality of the boat we rented as it was well kept and looked almost new. The whole process was stress amd worry free. I will be back soon.
Otis and Lee. So helpful and nice to look at. Great time
Phenomenal service.
Ashley & Jack are the greatest.
Highly recommend it.
Love them. We use them every year, always friendly and have clean equipment.
These guys are amazing and awesome !! True to form, I wait until the last minute to reserve a jet ski or more. As I do with the boat from Aloha Pontoon Boat Rentals and some how Danny always accommodates my family, friends, and I. And his jet ski's and boats are all new and in mint condition. I am always given a full tank of gas to enjoy the day. I am in customer service and have been for the past 21 years, and this organization is superb and I will never use or recommend any other rental in the Destin / Ft. Walton Area.
Had a great time on the water. Boat was clean and comfortable, and the staff was amazing.
One of the greatest places to rent a boat in Destin. They are very friendly and were extremely helpful from start to end. Can't wait to go back and rent again!
If your looking for an amazing experience u have to rent from here. Lee and his staff go above and beyond to make sure u have a great time. I will always rent from them!!
best boating rental! Best location! Cleanest boats! Most friendly and Helpful staff !
Great family fun. The jet skis were new and easy to operate. The service was exceptional . Highly recommend for family fun.
Absolutely the best place to rent a pontoon boat. Did it twice in 2 weeks. Will again next time down there!!
BY FAR THE BEST boating rental, Best location, Cleanest boats &* Most friendly and helpful staff!!!
I ve rented a pontoon three different times from Island Water Sports, and it s been a great experience each time. The staff and dockhands are very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. The Bentley pontoons with four-stroke engines are perfect for a full day on the bay. The transaction is super easy, it s a great location, just show up ready to have fun!
Fudpuckers Water Sports is THE BEST!! Skip out on Destin traffic renting here and the boats much nicer. We rented a pontoon from a facility in Destin last year and it was old and barely ran!! Decided to come to Fudpuckers this year and not only was the Bentley boat brand new, but the staff was awesome!! Highly recommend coming here!
This place is great! The boats are awesome but the best thing about Fudpuckers is the super cool dock staff, they are the best- friendly and professional and if you ask them, they will give you the secret info about where to find the secret..... dolphins!!! And they even fixed me up with a rental during busy season, when I called the same morning! Don't miss a day trip to Crab Island- so much fun!
This is the 2nd time renting a pontoon boat and jet ski. We will always come back! The staff is friendly, courteous, helpful and accommodating. The boats are in great condition and look new! Thanks for a another great time and memories with my family!
Friendly staff, always had great service here since our finding them when we visit Ft Walton.
Much to our dismay, they no longer provide jet ski rentals, even though its still shown on their page. The other activities are still available.
Thanks to the crew there for the memories you helped us make in the past.
Employees are very helpful and kind. Pontoons are always pretty new compared to other places..
Great place for pontoon and jetski rentals! Lots to do on the water in the area and these guys make it easy and fun to do. The equipment is top notch and the staff is too. They have Bently boats that are in great condition. We went to crab island and saw other rental boats with "rental" on the sides and phone numbers all written on their boats but these guys just have the boats without the advertising stuff and they look great. Feels like you're driving your own personal boat. The staff made it easy to shuttle 5 adults and 5 grandsons on and off the boat. Highly recommend anyone wanting to have fun on the water on either a jetski (we rented last year) or a pontoon boat to rent here.
From the friendly, accommodating crew to the clean, brand new boats, Fudpuckers water sports is the best in the business! They handled everything and helped make our weekend get away a memorable one!! We will definitely be back!
Lee was great we had a awesome time the location was super close to crab island very friendly staff excellent condition when it came to boats will use again
The boat we rented was fantastic- spacious, comfy, great speakers, ran well, and it was only $450 for the day.
The absolute BEST place on the Emerald Coast to go for Pontoon rentals and waterfront dining. I have rented from them countless times, and their equipment is always in tip-top shape, the staff is super friendly, and they put your safety at the forefront of every trip out onto the water. Not to mention, Dock On the Island has award winning Chef, Tommy Lemasters, ready to hook you up with some awesome food after a long day on the water. Don't even waste your time going anywhere else. This is the place to be!
Great, convenient place. Amazing prices for the area. The people there like Ashley and Jack make it so simple that we pretty much just walked on to the boat and shipped out to have a blast.
What a fabulous experience we had from beginning to end. Rented 2 pontoon boats for half day rental for 16 people. Lee helped us out immensely from the time he took our reservation to the knowledge he provided about the boat and best places to go while we were out. On top of all this thier prices are very competitive to other rental companies in the area. This is our 1st time renting from this company but will definitely not be our last.
Highly recommended! We called the day that we wanted to rent and they had a boat available. Super polite on the phone and once we arrived, it was a quick and friendly experience. The boat was in excellent condition, very clean, nice radio and ran great. Once we arrived back after our 4 hours, there was a staff member to guide us back to the dock.
2nd year we have rented and they are WONDERFUL!!! We will be back next year for another pontoon and jet skis!
The people and quality of products was fantastic! I come here every time!
Great experience all around. Super friendly staff from the first phone call to the departures! Check in was a breeze and they have carts to take your things to the boat! When we got back the team was there to greet us and hear about our day! If your thinking about renting a pontoon from these guys, DO IT!!!!!
Good equipment, competitive prices, friendly staff.
Co located with a VR arcade, a bar; plenty to do indoors or out.
Great place. The staff was awesome. They were all extremely friendly and helpful. The boat was great. We enjoyed everything about it. Spencer is the man !
Excellent customer service. Rented a kayak from them and had an amazing time on the bay. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend them for your water sports needs!
We rented for a full day today & had an awesome experience! Very nice, LARGE pontoon that could fit up to 14 people. The boat ran perfect except for the am/fm radio not working. But they happily gave us a huge bluetooth speaker. Professional staff(EXCEPT for the female there) & they tell you everything you need to know...will rent from them again!
Come here every year with my family. We always have the BEST time! The staff loads and unloads all your belongings on the boat and make sure you don't have to lift a finger. Highly recommend if you are in the area!!
I had reserved a boat for the week of the 4th of July and due to the weather I had to cancel, the owner/manager told me that I could cancel the reservation with no penalties because the weather was bad and he didn't want me to rent the boat and not have fun. I wish more businesses had the same mentality. You guys are awesome, I'll definitely see you next year.
Rented for the day, boat ran flawlessly. Explored crab island and the Gulf National Seashore. Hung out in Destin Harbor. It was the highlight of the trip for my kids! Crew at Island Watersports were great, they made the rental process easy peasy for us.
Guys were very friendly and an overall easy process to rent the pontoon boats. We did it 2 days in a row. One of our favorite things to do while in the area
What an amazing company! All of the staff is super friendly and so helpful! The boat was the best pontoon we have rented hands down! Would absolutely without hesitation recommend to anyone looking for excellent customer service and high quality!
We had a great pontoon trip - very helpful & friendly staff! Would definitely do this again!
Nice staff and really clean new boats! We had a great time!
Wouldn't rent 2 waverunners because they Said it wouldn't be beneficial to them. I'm a local of 31 years and I think it's unprofessional to turn down business.
A group of my friends and I from the 82nd Airborne have come down to visit family and we always go to Fudpuckers water sports. Each and every time, Lee and his staff have treated us like old friends and made sure we had a great time. They have brand new equipment and are extremely polite and professional. We could not have asked for a better experience.

We have taken a boat out from Island Watersports Company a few times & always have such a great time! The staff is so friendly and helpful. My kids always have such a great time!
Kids had a blast Lee and the gang where great
Food is amazing will make this a stop every year
We had a great time! The staff is so nice and helpful! The boats are all very clean and new!
It was my 1st ever going there and it was GREAT!!! The employees are WONDERFUL PEOPLE TO WORK WITH & were very nice and patient with us!!! LLLOOOVVVEEE IT & WE WILL BE BACK!!!!
Professional and Best Boats on the EMERALD COAST! I have always receive TOP NOTCH service and they have the newest and cleanest boats! They are our first and only choice.
We rented a double decker pontoon to take to crab Island. The guys were very courteous and the boat was great. We had a great time and will be back to do it again. Definitely check these guys out.
We had the best time on our first adventure to crab island!! We rented our boat with Island and they were ALL the nicest and most patient group of guys working the boats that day!! Otis went above and beyond to accommodate us and even had to make a trip to the island to help us out with a loading issue (nothing with the boat)! I will definitely use them in the future. Thank you Island ws!!!
By far cleanest boats around! Friendly staff and good prices. Can't beat this place
Details say they re open until 9pm. I walked over from the hotel to rent a kayak at 5pm, and they told me last rental is at 4pm.
Rented a pontoon boat and had a great time, they are super friendly and helpful. The boat had everything we needed, they rolled our belongings to the boat for us and made it a fantastic experience. Can't wait to rent there again!!
Nice place to rent a boat for the day. Our dock hand Jack did a great job on everything from help us load our boat to the details of where everything was on the boat. Jack made it very clear that if we had any problems while out, to call him and he would take care of us. Great employee coming from a small business owner. Keep up the good work Jack!
This was our third time renting either a pontoon boat or jet ski. It is always amazing. So many dolphins in the area. We love this place and they always have a great staff to help with all your needs. Highly recommend!!
I highly recommend this company and the guy who helped us with everything his name is Lee. Very helpful, kind, and friendly this is the company I'll will be using from here on out. Prices are affordable as well my daughter really enjoyed her birthday so thank you very much Island Watersports we will be back. Great customer service!!
Love this place! Lee is the BEST! My mom is handicapped and he was so helpful getting her on and off the boat. Very friendly and best prices we found around Destin!
Worst boating experience we have had! We rented a double decker boat and were put on it, then told us to get off because they made a mistake. We saw many more people who were also promised a double decker boat that they did not get. Kiddos were so disappointed! Then were put on a boat with no radio. Never again!
Plenty of other ski rentals around FW and Destin. This place is a joke!
Best boating rental. Best location. Clean boats. Very Friendly and helpful staff. Good for a day out with family and friends.
Perfect place to hang out for the day they have it all great food tons of activities.
Nicest staff, excellent customer service! Best pontoon boats in Destin/Ft Walton. We come back every year. Ashley and Lee make sure our family has a great experience every time!
Great service, great employees and very helpful. Simply show up and fill out very little paperwork and your good to go as scheduled. Definitely will use them again
Such a great experience! Rachel was so friendly and helpful!!
Greatest location I've seen. Best boat rentals, very clean boats and the friendliest staff. All were extremely helpful. It was an exceptional experience and I definitely recommend! We will be coming back.
We rented a boat, it was awesome and Rachel was super helpful with the check in process! Love this company!
Very friendly and professional staff.
Boat ran flawlessly and looked brand new.
Decided we wanted to rent this morning, Walked over and reserved the pontoon for later that day. Dock master Lee was very friendly and the entire process was a breeze. Phoned him as we returned and he was waiting to tell us what slip to enter. Entire operation is first class. Highly recommend.
Great experience! Very friendly staff new equipment and competitive pricing. We will rent again from Fudpuckers Watersports.
Not only was our reception terrible with the awful attitude at the desk, but the boats were also awful. The back stairs on the pontoon were only secured with one bolt which presented a huge hazard for everyone but especially our 4, 5, and 7 year olds. The overall experience was terrible. The only positives we had with our time was the dock personnel. They were pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend Luther's in the harbor if you are looking for a great experience overall. The manager also approached me and wanted to start an altercation because of my review. Very unprofessional. See photos.
Very reasonable prices, they are really friendly and helpful. I enjoyed taking the jetskis out and playing around. I recommend going and playing at fudpuckers!
Had an amazing day on the water, the staff was especially amazing. We were helped by a young man named Spencer that did everything in his power to make sure we had a great day. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone considering going on a boat.
Best place to get a pontoon in the area. Staff was great and upbeat! Didn't act like it was chore to live in paradise and look out for those wanting to have a great day. Especially Ashley. We will be back!
I used Fudpucker's Watersports for a recent parasailing adventure. I have wanted to parasail since I was a teen, & was finally ready (in my 40's) ...
A friend of mine & I did a beautiful sunset cruise. It was breath taking!
My children did not want to parasail; they had an exciting time cruising in the boat.
Thank you to the captain & crew for being professional and fun!
I definitely recommend Fudpucker's/Ft. Walton Beach Parasail.
