Crab Island Pontoon Charters with Emerald Island Charters in Fort Walton Beach

Fort Walton Beach, Florida, sits along the emerald waters of the Gulf Coast, offering a gateway to one of the region’s most vibrant aquatic playgrounds: Crab Island. This informal sandbar and reef area is a magnet for boaters and water lovers who gather for sun-soaked days in crystal-clear waters. Emerald Island Charters stands out here with its private pontoon charters, providing a premium way to experience Crab Island’s unique scene from the water.

Emerald Island Charters specializes in luxury 18-seater pontoons, all equipped with onboard restrooms and options featuring dual water slides — adding an extra splash of excitement for groups. These vessels carve through the calm blue waters, allowing guests to anchor alongside the island’s natural sandbars, swim, snorkel, or simply relax under the Florida sun. The privacy of a charter means you control your pace and space among the bustling hulls and hammock-filled boats at Crab Island.

Beyond the island itself, the area’s sandy shoals provide a shallow, safe haven for families and friends to gather. The warm, shallow waters reveal occasional rays and small fish flickering beneath the surface, while the gentle Gulf breeze keeps the heat comfortable on the docked pontoons. Emerald Island Charters crafts an experience that balances fun, comfort, and convenience, ensuring your day can stretch as long as you like without lines or crowds.

This operation offers a distinct take on Florida’s beach-day culture, merging casual water-based recreation with the ease of a luxury vessel.
