Your group will travel on a 30-foot double-decker tritoon equipped with a 115hp Mercury engine and a private onboard bathroom. We provide all necessary safety equipment, including life jackets for all ages, and plenty of cooler space for your refreshments. For our specialized sightings trips, we also provide local knowledge of the best areas to spot marine life and quiet sandbars. How much does a full day pontoon tour in Fort Walton Beach cost?Our pricing is structured to be transparent and affordable for private groups of up to 10 passengers. A standard 7-hour full day trip is priced at $850, while our extended 8-hour and 9-hour options range from $900 to $1,000. These rates cover the entire boat and the services of your guide, providing a cost-effective way for large families or groups of friends to enjoy the Emerald Coast together without the stress of operating a rental vessel themselves. What is the best time of year to visit Crab Island and Fort Walton Beach?While our services are available all year round, the prime time for the signature emerald-green water is during the late spring and summer months, particularly during high tide. For those looking to avoid the largest crowds at Crab Island while still enjoying warm weather, the "shoulder seasons" of May and September offer a great balance of comfortable temperatures and excellent water clarity. Our sunset and dolphin trips are popular throughout the entire year. Do I need to bring my own gear for a Blues Emerald Coast Adventures boat trip?We recommend that guests bring their own personal items for a day on the water, such as towels, sunscreen (non-spray preferred), and polarized sunglasses for better visibility into the water.

If you have specific snorkeling gear or small water toys you'd like to use at the sandbar, feel free to bring those along as well. Is the 30-foot double decker tritoon safe for small children and seniors?Yes, our vessel is specifically chosen for its stability and spacious layout, making it highly suitable for all ages. The tritoon design offers a much smoother ride than standard pontoons, and the double-decker structure provides plenty of shade for those who want to stay out of the sun. The onboard bathroom and easy-access boarding ladder further ensure that guests of all mobility levels can stay comfortable during their time on the water.

We aim to tailor the experience to your group's specific interests. What happens if there is inclement weather on the day of my trip?The safety of our guests is our primary concern.
