Rented a pontoon for a full day. I was expecting the rental pontoon to be very basic, but they provided a Bentley Pontoon. The seats were super comfortable and canopy provided decent shade. Also, it was easy to get on and off the boat to swim with the installed ladder. Staff was great and also provided us with a huge bluetooth speaker that easily connected to our phone. They also give discounts for military/ 1st responders. I am definitely renting from Power Up again.

I would give this place a MILLION stars if I could! We rented jet skis and it was seriously the best time!!!!! Can't wait to visit Fort Walton just to stop by Power Up Watersports again. We spoke to Amber she was so friendly and kind and was able to get us on the water the same day!!!!! If you want to have fun in Fort Walton you better make a trip to Power Up.

Had such an amazing experience at Power Up Watersports. The staff was incredibly friendly, informative, and professional. We rented a pontoon boat and had a forever memorable experience. Before renting the boat we were a little nervous but were reassured and provided the knowledge with the boaters safety course provided prior to the rental. I will never forget the time I spent with my family and will absolutely be back to make more memories!!!!

Spent $600 for 4 hour her ski and pontoon rental. Got on the water 1.5 hours later than we should have because they were not organized and were too busy. We are very patient, and didn't mind the wait. But then tell us we still have to be back at same time? We took 20 minutes to take the test, but the rest is on them. We have 15 people in our party very upset. This was not cheap and the loss of time is very upsetting. The worst part is all we wanted in return was a discount on another rental! We wanted to give them more money! Very very sad.

Great experience! We've been back several times...even more than once on the same vacation! Very accommodating to your schedule, the equipment is top-notch, and staff make you feel welcome. I will go nowhere else in the Okaloosa area.

What an awesome company! We rented a pontoon boat with Derek as our captain. It was for a bachelor party with 10 guys and we had more than enough room and shade. Derek drove us around to all the hot spots, was super knowledgeable and fun. Rent a boat from powerup and go to crab island! You won't regret it! A+++ experience

Absolutely positive experience from start to finish. Staff was happy and professional. Joey was quick to get us setup and ready to depart on our trip to crab island. We rented a half day 24 ft pontoon / jet ski rental with plenty of room for 9 guys and 2 ice chests. Everything on boat worked and ran great. The highlight of our Bachelor Party for sure!

My wife and I rented a pontoon boat and jet ski from Power Up Watersports. I am very slow walking and the staff was very patient and helped load all of our coolers, bags and beach gear. My daughter, son in law and grandsons had the best time at Crab Island. The boat and jet ski were clean and full of fuel so we were able to just enjoy our day. We will definitely come back, we had the best time and made great family memories.

The staff was friendly and helpful, but the pontoon boat steering was an awful experience to start things off. We were supposed to have a 24 foot boat, and one staff alluded that we were waiting on one, but we were instead given the one that was already there on the beach. Not sure it was what we were paying for. After we came back, my wife noticed that one the horizontal fins on the left pontoon was missing and the other on the same pontoon badly damaged. No wonder it could only zig-zag back and forth! The staff fellow acted surprised that it wouldn't drive straight in that condition, sheesh! The boat was also missing the table, so made it inconvenient to eat our spread of food. And the radio did not work, let alone the horn and other electronics. Back step of jet ski was damaged. We will go elsewhere next time.

We had such a fun time cruising around on our 20ft pontoon with our two Golden Retrievers. We were able to book same-day when the weather screamed for us to get out on the water at the end of November. Super friendly/helpful staff and would definitely recommend and rent from them again!

Rented 2, 12 person pontoon for the day! We cruised for a couple hours and made a couple stops to check out hermit crabs and local wildlife. Then we went straight to crab island. Was a very fun day for the whole family! Bring your own food and drinks with you because the prices at crab island are overpriced. We paid 15 dollars for a daiquiri.

It was great for the price. About 300 for two people for two hours. The staff was very nice, informative and courteous. I highly recommend them to anyone in the Destin Fort Walton area.

Awesome place to go for a dolphin cruise. My family and I went on a sunset dolphine cruise and it was well worth it. There are places that offer them cheaper but I would highly recommend this business. Very nice and knowledgeable staff. We had Ben as our captain and he made sure we all had a good time. Will return to this business in the future . You will not be disappointed with this place. Good prices on boat and jet ski rentals too.

We did the wave runner dolphin tour with Derrick. The whole experience was great. We had to take A Florida State boater's test, which was no big deal, took 15 minutes and cost only $3 to complete. The general staff was courteous and personable. Derrick was very easy going and a great guide. We encountered a really active group of dolphins. There were probably 15 of them, and there was even a calf that periodically jumped out of the water and did little flips! Derrick said it was the best he's seen as far as dolphin-wave runner encounters go.
