Perla! Three-Slide Double Decker Pontoon to Crab Island from Fort Walton Beach

Perla! — the Three Slide Double Decker — launches from Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and operates across the Emerald Coast. Book a 4- or 8-hour cruise for up to 12 guests plus a captain and you get premium seating, three waterslides, a 15-foot lily pad, two paddleboards, a large JBL Bluetooth speaker, and extras like a cooler and a beer-pong mat. Typical routes run between Destin Harbor, the sandbars of Crab Island, and the sheltered channels of Choctawhatchee Bay, where sugar-white sand and emerald-green shallows offer calm swim stops and wide Gulf views. Onboard life mixes party energy with practical safety. The upper deck offers a wide vantage for dolphin sightings, while the shaded main deck keeps littles comfortable between slide runs. The layout suits birthdays, bachelorette groups, family gatherings, or any crew that wants an easy day of sun and shallow-water play. This vessel is offered with a captain option only; renters who plan to operate the craft themselves must meet Florida Boating Safety Education Identification Card requirements. The place itself is part of the draw. Crab Island is a seasonal sandbar complex of flats and shallow channels that becomes a social anchorage at lower tide, and Choctawhatchee Bay shelters quiet coves edged by seagrass beds. Look for bottlenose dolphins and the occasional sea turtle in warm months. Guests must follow on-board restrictions such as no glass and no fishing from the pontoon to protect wildlife and other visitors. Practical details matter: arrive 30 minutes prior to check-in to load coolers and review the safety briefing; ice is available for an additional fee. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a waterproof phone case, water shoes for hot deck surfaces, and a change of clothes for the ride home. Paddleboards and the lily pad expand your play options; if you want a smoother paddleboarding session, choose a morning departure when winds tend to be lighter. Photographers will favor late afternoon light over the sandbars for warm tones, while dawn trips offer calmer water and clearer reflections. The vessel’s upper deck and the bow are prime viewpoints for action shots of slides and jump lines from the lily pad. What sets this charter apart is a mix of features rarely combined on a small rental: multiple water slides, extensive guest seating, and quick access to both social sandbars and more secluded bay coves. For visitors based in Fort Walton Beach, it’s an efficient, joyful way to experience the coast and make a full day of sun, slides, and shallow-water exploration. Groups should confirm passenger limits, review on-board rules, and reserve early during high season to secure preferred departure times and to guarantee the captain and equipment availability for your chosen date today.
