Too cold to go, but had a nice pontoon ride!

5.00We had an unusual experience because it was cold and windy the day we went out. We still enjoyed the pontoon ride and sites we saw, but didn't make it to crab island due to the waves. If it were a nice day, I know we would have enjoyed the island too!
Excellent

5.00We had an amazing experience renting a pontoon boat from Destiny rentals. The staff went above and beyond! They made sure we knew everything before we departed. We wish we would have purchased more hours because it was the funnest thing we did on our trip!
I would rent a pontoon from a different place

3.00First thing I forgot to fill out the waivers, so the front end lady pretty much kicked me out of the shack to fill out the waivers. She said it was so other people can come in and check in. There was no one else there checking it and she was super rude about it. So when I got done with the waivers I checked in with AJ and he was way nicer and very helpful. Jordan helped us down at the dock and she was nice and helpful. I didn't get the name of the front end lady that was rude but I should have. The pontoon boat they gave us had no speedometer on it. I would recommend bringing your own waterproof phone case because the waterproof phone cases that they sell fall apart. Crab Island was super fun but I think next time we will rent from a different place. So I knocked off one star for the rude lady at the front check-in because she Mase me feel like I was getting kicked out of there. And then I knocked off another star because the phone cases they sell were falling apart and the boat did not have a working speedometer on it and we didn't realize until we were way out in the water.
Great rental service
