Luxury 12-Passenger Tritoon Rental on Choctawhatchee Bay | Boat Rental | Water Activities

Santa Rosa Beach, Florida sits along the Choctawhatchee Bay, where the 6 Hour - 12-Pass 350 HP Luxury Tritoon offers a day on the water like no other. Operated by Santa Rosa Beach Pontoon Rentals and launched from Cessna Landing dock on CR 393, this double-decker tritoon seats twelve and packs 350 horsepower—built for cruising, wildlife viewing, and social days anchored in shallow sandbars. Board the Tritoon at Cessna Landing and point west toward Crab Island, a broad, shallow shoal where clear water lets you wade, snorkel, and float among anchored boats. The bay's low, sandy bottom and scattered oyster bars create emerald shallows ideal for paddleboarding and launching YOLO boards included as an add-on. Dolphins frequent the channel between Okaloosa Island and Destin; pods are commonly sighted near mangrove fringes and deeper tidal channels. Key features: a double-decker deck, swim platform and slide, 350 HP outboard power, room for twelve passengers, and options for paddleboards and floating pads. Natural highlights include the Choctawhatchee Bay's sandy shoals, seagrass beds that support juvenile fish and rays, and frequent dolphin activity. Cultural notes: Baytowne Wharf and LuLu's restaurant anchor the local waterfront scene—LuLu's is owned by LuLu Buffet—which means easy dock-and-dine options during your rental. Why this operator stands out: Santa Rosa Beach Pontoon Rentals specializes in large, high-powered pontoons designed for group days on the bay. They provide local navigation limits—rental use is confined inside the bay and to points west to Crab Island—and a driver list if you prefer not to pilot. Practical rules are clear: renters must be 30+ with a valid U.S. driver's license; infants count as passengers; the Coast Guard prohibits company-assigned captains without separate agreement. Plan for a mix of leisure and action: anchor in calm shallows for paddleboarding and swimming, or cruise to Baytowne Wharf for dining, shopping, and a short dock fee. The operator recommends longer bookings for Crab Island given the 30–40 minute transit each way. Respect wildlife: maintain distance from dolphins and follow Florida boating laws. This rental is ideal for family outings, bachelor parties, or groups who want the comforts of a floating lounge with the power to explore the bay. With a spacious layout, slide, and paddle gear, the 12-passenger Tritoon turns an ordinary day on Choctawhatchee Bay into a memorable, easily managed adventure. Bookings require a $120 reservation fee when requesting a listed Driver; drivers are paid $50 per hour on the trip and are contacted directly per Coast Guard rules. Gratuity for drivers is 15%. Pets are allowed for an extra fee; clean-up charges may apply. Late returns incur $50 per 15 minutes. Pickup occurs exactly 15 minutes before your scheduled time at the Cessna Landing dock.
