Father’s Day is right around the corner, and if you want to make this year memorable, we have just the thing. Skip the typical tie or grill set and instead, give Dad something he’ll really appreciate: an unforgettable day on the beautiful waters of Destin, Florida.
At Crab Island Watersports, we want you to make lasting memories on the water with your family. It doesn’t matter if your dad is the adventurous type who loves speed or if he just prefers to kick back and relax with a cold drink in hand—we have just the thing to make his day perfect. Rent our pontoon boats(opens in a new tab) or jet skis(opens in a new tab) and take in the stunning surroundings of Crab Island.
Here’s how you can make this Father’s Day in Florida one that he will never forget.
Why An Experience is the Best Father’s Day Gift
Let’s be honest: it’s difficult to shop for dad. Whether it’s for Christmas, his birthday, or Father’s Day, most dads won’t tell you what they want. And if they do, it’s often a humble “Don’t worry about me”. That’s exactly why a shared experience can mean so much more than any store-bought gift.
A gift that focuses more on creating memories will strengthen bonds, gives everyone a chance to relax, and creates stories that will be told and remembered fondly for years to come. If you think your dad would like to celebrate Father’s Day at the beach, there’s no better place than at Crab Island.
Pontoon Boats: Relaxation and Fun
If your dad is a more laid-back guy who simply enjoys spending his afternoon with family, good music, and sunshine, then renting a pontoon boat(opens in a new tab) is the perfect choice.
At Crab Island Watersports, our pontoons are clean, comfortable, and easy to operate. Each boat offers plenty of seating, shade for relaxing, and space for coolers. Connect your phone to our Bluetooth speakers to listen to your favorite playlists. Add on a floating mat or paddleboards for even more water fun. There’s something for the whole family.
Set your course for Crab Island, a shallow sandbar known for its turquoise waters, floating restaurants, and good vibes. Anchor the pontoon and dive into the fun! Swim, snorkel, play games, or suntan with a cold drink in hand.
Want to level up the day? Bring Dad’s favorite snacks, create a playlist with his favorite songs, and surprise him with a floating picnic. For the ultimate Father’s Day at the beach, a pontoon rental puts you in the heart of Florida’s coastal beauty.
Jet Skis: For the Adventurous Dad
If your dad loves chasing an adrenaline rush, then a jet ski rental (opens in a new tab)is the perfect way to add excitement to Father’s Day. Our fleet of high-performance jet skis are ready for action, and we make it easy and safe for everyone. It doesn’t matter if it’s dad’s first time or if he’s a jet ski expert, anyone can enjoy taking a jet ski out on the beautiful Emerald Coast. Before hitting the water, we’ll walk you through a short safety orientation and provide tips for navigating the area.
Once you’re out in the ocean, it’s all about the thrill! You’ll skim over the bright blue waves, explore the waterways, and take in the stunning coastline. You might even spot some wildlife, such as dolphins(opens in a new tab) playing nearby, which is a regular occurrence in our waters.
Here’s a pro tip: combine a pontoon boat rental(opens in a new tab) with a jet ski rental(opens in a new tab) for the ultimate Father’s Day in Florida. Let Dad relax in the morning and rev things up in the afternoon, experiencing the best of both worlds.
What to Pack and Plan
A successful day on the water starts with a little planning. But not to worry, we have curated a list of the essentials that you should bring on the water, so you don’t have to stress. Here’s what we recommend bringing to make the most of your Father’s Day at the beach:
- Reef-safe sunscreen(opens in a new tab)
- Cooler with drinks, snacks, or a picnic lunch
- Towels and a change of clothes
- Waterproof phone case or dry bag
- Bluetooth speaker (if you would like to play your own music)
- Water shoes or sandals
- Sunglasses and hats
Don’t forget to bring a camera or make sure your phone is fully charged. You’ll want to capture Dad’s big smile as he steers the pontoon or hits top speed on a jet ski.
Why Crab Island is the Ultimate Spot
Crab Island is an experience. Located just north of Destin’s Harbor, this famous sandbar is a hotspot for boaters, families, and fun-seekers of all ages. The water is shallow and calm, making it a perfect spot for floating, swimming, and hanging out. Vendors float by offering everything from ice cream to grilled sandwiches. Live music is also a regular occurrence during the summer months.
So, what makes it special for Father’s Day? It’s the kind of place where time slows down. Dad can enjoy the warm sand, toes in the water, and nothing on the agenda but enjoying the moment. No traffic, no emails—just sunshine, a cool breeze, and quality time with the people he loves most.
