How to get to Crab Island?
Nestled in the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico lies a hidden paradise – Crab Island....
If you want the ultimate bachelor party, Destin is definitely the spot to make it happen. You'll get plenty of sunshine, an array of fantastic nightlife options, amazing restaurants, and stunning beaches.
To take your bachelor party up a notch, you can add in one or more of these memorable activities. Whether your crowd is eager to spend the day on the water or on the golf course, we've got you covered.
2. Rent a Double-decker Pontoon Boat
One of the most popular ways to celebrate with the guys is by renting a Destin double-decker pontoon boat. The boats are spacious enough for your whole group, and you'll get the chance to bond and make lasting memories on the water. You can play your favorite tunes on the bluetooth speakers and even bring along a cooler filled with your beverages of choice.
The best part about renting a double-decker pontoon boat is that you can create your own itinerary for the day! If your group just wants to chill, unwind, and catch up with one another, then take it easy on the Choctawhatchee Bay. If you're animal lovers, then cruise around and try to spot some of the dolphins found in the bay or bring you’re snorkeling gear and head over to the East Jetty in Destin Harbor and check out the marine life.
If you're looking for something a little more upbeat, head over to Crab Island and catch some live music or get in on the party atmosphere. There's something for everyone when you take on the Emerald Coast by boat!
2. Get a Rush with Water Sports
You and your buddies can get a rush of adrenaline by choosing from among a wide variety of water sports available to you in Destin. Snorkeling is on the low end of the adrenaline rush scale, but it is a lot of fun.
Speed things up by parasailing, heading out on jet skis/waverunners, or heading up by hydroflying. Sun Dogs Parasail at AJ’s in Destin and Dockside Watersports is a great place to book an adventure.
Jet skis and waverunners are always perennial favorites when at the beach. One of our favorite spots to rent from is Blue Crab Watersports.
Hydroflying is the new kid on the block, but it is definitely a big hit. Hydroflight sports use jet propulsion to lift and propel you through the air. If you and your guys are real thrill-seekers, this is definitely a sport for your group. If you want to see it in action before giving it a go, check out Hydroflight Mondays at The Village of Baytowne Wharf, held every Monday evening during the summer.
3. Charter a Deep-Sea Fishing Boat
Fishing has long been a popular bonding experience between friends. On your Destin bachelor trip, there are plenty of spots to fish right from the shore, from local piers, or in the bay. But if you’re a serious angler, there is nothing better than chartering a boat to go deep-sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. After all, Destin is widely known as the Luckiest Fishing Village in the World.
4. Tee Off at a Local Golf Course
There are few things more enjoyable than teeing off on a gorgeous golf course on a sunny day. For your bachelor party, golfing can be a fantastic way to spend all or part of a day. There are a number of private, members-only clubs in Destin, but there are also several semi-private and public golf courses in Destin and along the Emerald Coast.
One of the most popular courses is Regatta Bay Golf & Yacht Club. Located in preserves along the Choctawhatchee Bay, this semi-private course can be the perfect spot to enjoy the day with your closest friends. When you’ve finished your round, kick back at the clubhouse and enjoy your favorite spirits and a great meal.
A bachelor party is often a guy’s last big outing with his buddies prior to giving up the single life. Make it count by taking the party to Destin, where your entertainment options are wide and varied.
And when you’re ready to rent your double-decker pontoon in Destin, choose a new boat from Double Fun Watersports. Our boats accommodate up to 12 of your closest friends, and we have everything you need to help you celebrate your last days of bachelorhood.
