WHAT CLIENTS SAY

WOW!! What an incredible day! Spent the day out on the water while down for vacation it was a day my wife and I will never forget! The boat was absolutely amazing. We have spent time out on the ocean before but nothing like this. The boat caption put us right on a pod of dolphins and was the closest we have ever been to seeing dolphins next to a boat was truly a sight to see! Spent some time out at crab island which was really nice. Water was chilly but that didn’t stop us from having a good time the music was great which made the day seemed like it flew by! To top it all off the sunset ride back in was absolutely breathtaking! This company really knows what they are doing to capture all the great parts of Destin from the water! Can’t wait to be back and do it all over again!

What an amazing experience!!! The boat is hands down one of the nicest boats I've been on. It's very pristine, spacious, and luxurious. The owners are incredibly friendly and the captain was fantastic. He guided us safely to Crab Island once the sky cleared up over, since it had rained a bit! On the way back, they pointed out some dolphins and the kids loved it! 12 out of 10 experince! I cannot recommend this experience more! Thanks Marietta and Ken!

Here’s What People are Saying

“The most MAGICAL experience that created a lifelong memory for my parents who were celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary. The boat is simply stunning, the online pictures do not convey the size and attention to elegant detail throughout the vessel. The captain and first mate were very attentive, friendly, and authentically engaged during our excursion. Overall, the entire experience was sensational, unforgettable, and perfect in every way.”

“If I could give 10 stars I would. I was planning my best friend’s bachelorette weekend and SO happy that I found them. The Bella Roma is truly the most beautiful boat I’ve ever seen or been on and the crew is AMAZING. We had the time of our lives and were so sad when the day was over. Easily the HIGHLIGHT of the bachelorette weekend. The space is clean, luxurious and spacious. I could not recommend them enough!!!!”

Destin Yachting The Ultimate Yachting Experience in Destin & 30A!

A Miami - Mediteranean Style Charter 

with a New Orleans Flare!

Happy Hour is a 63’ Private Yacht that  is lightly chartered.

30A & Destin Boarding!

Half day starting at $3,200, 6 hrs starting at $4,000, 8 hrs starting at $4,800, sunset cruise special, vip private chef…check it out, veuve clicquot packages, the yachting lifestyle.

Happy Hour is a luxurious 63' Euro-Yacht. 

Unlike other charter yachts in the area, Happy  Hour is “lightly” chartered, so she has the feel of a “private yacht”. She also has a shallow draft which alllows her to get into shallow areas like Crab Island and Noriega Point. This allows you to get into the thick of the action rather than just be a spectator from afar. 

The Ultimate Yachting Experience!

We love YOU our valued guests and we love getting pics and video from you. This video was made with images and video provided by  a few of our charter clients Making Memories! See why Destin Yachting provides Destin’s Ultimate Luxury Yachting Experience!

Perfect boat day experience for a large bachelorette headed to crab island! They went above and beyond by providing extras that most boat rentals don’t provide, such as an ice chest ready to go. The crew also made sure we didn’t have to get out of the water for anything. Highly recommend, would rent again.

Large Luxury Everglades 355 Center Console in Destin

Bo was great. My wife and I wanted to relax and bounce around. Bo picked us up from our condo and brought us to Harbor Docks, AJ’s, & Crab Island. He was very accommodating and continued to check on us to see if we needed anything. I would definitely charter with him in the future!

A 10/10 experience!! My friends and I booked with Ron for a bachelorette weekend and the trip to Crab Island was the highlight of our trip. Would definitely recommend Prime Time Charters. Jason was our captain and he is the best! He showed us around the island and was such a good time. If we are ever back in Florida we will 100% be booking with Ron and Jason again.

Crab Island Fun! Slide, Lily Pad, Inflatables & More

Carlos was the best pontoon boat owner, he answered any question I had through out the entire process, he was eager to help switch days if needed or help put our minds at ease about the possible rain! Great all around!!!

10/10 for this experience. The boat was super clean and seemed to be brand new. The staff were just as great - very polite and friendly. My wife and I enjoyed a fun day on the water. The on-board Garmin was a nice touch to see channel markers and find our way back home.

Best Time in Crab Island - Over 400 trips - Free amenities - All inclusive

Chris truly made this experience amazing. He was very friendly and was helpful with whatever my group needed! Everyone loved him and had the best experience possible. Everyone in my group has stated it was their favorite adventure!

Propelled by jets of water, the Flyboard rockets users above or below the surface. A nozzle under the board bursts with 90% of the propulsion, allowing users to move around by tilting their feet and the board itself. Meanwhile, nozzles on the hands help fliers stabilize, much like poles to a skier or spaghetti noodles to a tightrope walker. Most users get the hang of the beginner-friendly controls and movements within 5 minutes or less.

Excellent experience. We had a handicapped person in our party and the whole double fun crew pitched in to help us. They pulled our boat up to the closest slip, helped load our stuff and assisted our handicapped member with boarding. On return we got the same treatment with unloading. Boat was clean and in good service so our trip was a delight. Thanks so much to everyone at double fun.

-Jennifer Bui

We rented a double pontoon boat and had a great time! There are a ton of rental companies in the area so, for me, it came down to the people running it. And they were fantastic! Super personable, friendly and helpful. Thanks for being so welcoming and making us feel so comfortable renting our first pontoon boat. Especially having such a wide age range (7-78). Will definitely rent from here again next time we're in the area!

-Megan Toukatly

It was our first time in Destin and Crab Island and we had a great time. We had 6 small kids, even a one month old baby and we were able to keep the baby in the shade. Kids loved the slides and the service at Double Fun was great. Would definitely rent from them again.

-Alyson Plowman

It’s deadline day for the SS United States, but the boat’s stewards again want more time to come up with a plan

The ship has already skirted the scrapyard on more than one occasion but finding a second life for the 990-foot vessel has been a series of false starts and stops.

The instructions a federal judge gave the stewards of the SS United States were clear: Have a plan to move the 990-foot ship from Pier 82 in front of the South Philadelphia Ikea store by Sept. 12, or else.

But a day before the deadline, the ship’s stewards, the SS United States Conservancy, once again asked the court to move the deadline, to Dec. 5.

The ship has already skirted the scrapyard on more than one occasion but finding a second life for the 990-foot vessel has been a series of false starts and stops. Ideas to turn it into time-share condos or reconfigure it for a cruise line have failed to materialize because of a lack of financing.

The latest existential threat to the ship is a 2021 rent dispute between its stewards and landlord Penn Warehousing. The pier operator wanted to double the daily berth rate to $1,700, the conservancy opposed, and Penn Warehousing sought to evict. The issue landed in court, where U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody told the conservancy it had to face the music.

“You’re not entitled to be at the pier forever,” Brody told a conservancy attorney in August as she declined a request for more time at the pier.

Since that hearing, the conservancy entered a tentative purchase agreement with Florida’s Okaloosa County. The county wants to transport the vessel to the state’s warm gulf waters and sink it to create an artificial reef along Northwest Florida’s Destin-Fort Walton Beach shores.

But that tentative agreement has not been ratified , with County Administrator John Hofstad citing a “wrinkle with pier operators” as part of the delay, a claim the conservancy echoes in Wednesday’s court filings.

In court documents, the conservancy says Penn Warehousing insisted on the county making a $3 million payment — an amount floated as a penalty should the ship remain at Pier 82 by the deadline — during a meeting with officials.

Craig Mills, an attorney for Penn Warehousing, confirmed the parties last spoke at the end of August, when they discussed short-term leasing options until Okaloosa County could move the ship. He said his client has remained largely in the dark on the conservancy’s efforts to comply with the deadline.

“Penn Warehousing remains perplexed and frustrated at the Conservancy’s apparent refusal to comply with the Court’s directive, which is depriving it of the opportunity to open Pier 82 to a commercial customer that will bring good-paying union jobs and considerable tax revenues to the City and the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority,” said Mills in a statement.

“We will seek the appropriate relief from the Court if, as is now inevitable, the vessel remains at Pier 82 after September 12.”

A spokesperson for the conservancy could not be reached for additional comment.

Here are the options on the table — some more feasible than others.

Okaloosa County’s Tourist Development Department was all in on acquiring the boat, committing $9 million — including $5 million in contributions from partners — to towing, transporting, and reefing the vessel. Documents show the department aims to make the county “the dive capital of the state of Florida and artificial reef capital of the United States.”

The tentative purchase agreement that outlined these details, however, was “wholly contingent upon approval of this Agreement by the Board [of Okaloosa County Commissioners] on or before September 4.”

That did not happen. A spokesperson for the county did not respond to requests for comment ahead of the Sept. 12 deadline and had on past occasions declined to comment until the deal was finalized.

Mills said another county had expressed interest in reefing the ship but didn’t say which one.

It was previously reported that Escambia County , Okaloosa’s neighbor, had expressed interest in the ship but couldn’t vote on the matter before the agreement between Okaloosa and the conservancy was signed.

Temporary berth

This has been the best-case scenario in the short term for the conservancy, which has been vocal about how it doesn’t see reefing the ship as an ideal solution. By finding a temporary home, the conservancy could pursue a white knight who would help it redevelop the ship into a mixed-use destination that could include a museum commemorating the former “Queen of the Seas.”

In court documents, however, the conservancy has described finding a temporary berth as nearly impossible, with the Philadelphia Navy Yard, the Virginia Port Authority, the Maryland Port Authority, the North Carolina State Ports Authority, the South Carolina Ports Authority, and the Georgia Ports Authority having no room for the ship.

A title transfer or the scrap heap

As of Wednesday, there was no hearing set to revisit the conservancy’s plans, but Brody had previously floated the idea of transferring ownership of the ship to Penn Warehousing if the vessel’s stewards couldn’t sort something out. Penn Warehousing’s attorneys have said acquiring the ship is not their ideal solution but they would accept it if the conservancy didn’t make progress in getting the ship out of Pier 82.

If no deal is struck between the conservancy and another home, it opens the door for the ship to be scrapped for metal.

Brody is slated to hear the conservancy’s motion asking for a deadline extension on Friday.
