On the Emerald Coast, the water is the vacation — Choctawhatchee Bay on one side, the Gulf on the other, and Crab Island in between. 4N puts you on it three ways: a private captained pontoon charter out of Santa Rosa Beach, a full captained yacht day, or Sea-Doo watercraft you pilot yourself. Every option books with a single call, and the watercraft come delivered to the water's edge.

Where the water takes you
Most days point to Crab Island
The famous sandbar sits just north of the Destin Bridge, where the water runs waist-deep and turquoise. From our Santa Rosa Beach departure points it's a scenic cruise through the bayous and past Sandestin — the party builds the whole way out.
Prefer it quieter? Choctawhatchee Bay keeps calm water all day — coves off the bayous for swimming, long open stretches for the Sea-Doos, and a sunset run home to end it properly. Your captain reads the wind, the crowd, and the day, and puts you where it's best.

On the Water — Questions
Are your boat trips captained?
The pontoon charters and yacht days come with a captain — you and your crew just step aboard. Sea-Doo watercraft you pilot yourself.
Can we go to Crab Island?
That's the signature run. The captained tritoon takes up to 13 guests out for 4, 6 or 8 hours, with fuel, an 18-foot float pad, and a cooler of ice included.
Where do trips depart?
Charters depart Santa Rosa Beach on Choctawhatchee Bay — Cessna Landing or Pilcher Park — a scenic bayou cruise out to Crab Island.
Do you deliver watercraft?
Yes — to docks, marinas, and bay launches along 30A, or out of Destin Harbor, season permitting. Contact us to confirm your dates.
What's included on the pontoon charter?
Fuel, an 18-foot lily pad float, a cooler with ice, a Bluetooth stereo, and a full bimini for shade — plus your captain. You bring towels, drinks, and sunscreen.
Is the yacht captained too?
Yes — yacht days run with a captain, sold as a full 8-hour day on their own or bundled into the all-inclusive Packages with a car, golf cart, and ebikes.
How far out should we book in summer?
Peak weeks sell out on the water first. Book the boat before the house is even packed — 24–48 hours is the minimum, and June and July Saturdays go much earlier.
How do I book a day on the water?
Call (850) 797-9515 or send the reservation form — 24–48 hours ahead locks in your boat, and same-day can work outside peak weeks.
