About Luther's Pontoon, Waverunner & Kayak Rentals
Luther's Pontoon, WaveRunner & Kayak Rentals has been a family-owned staple on the Destin Harbor since 1998, building a loyal following among locals and returning visitors who appreciate honest pricing and a no-frills approach to water recreation. Located at 200 Harbor Boulevard with dockside parking and wheelchair-accessible facilities, Luther's makes it easy for families of all sizes to gear up and launch without the runaround that sometimes accompanies busier harbour operations.
The fleet is organised around three pontoon sizes — 20-foot boats for up to 7 passengers, and 24- and 28-foot models that accommodate up to 12 passengers per U.S. Coast Guard regulations. WaveRunners provide a faster alternative for thrill-seekers, while single and tandem kayaks and stand-up paddleboards cater to guests who prefer a quieter, self-powered experience on the bay. Luther's also rents floating water mats, floating coolers, and Aqua Shots basketball hoops — extras that turn a simple pontoon trip to Crab Island into an all-day floating party.
What keeps Luther's competitive after more than a quarter-century in business is the combination of transparent pricing, a central harbour location, and the kind of personalised service that only a family operation can deliver. Half-day and full-day rates are published upfront with no hidden fees, and the staff takes time to walk first-time boaters through navigation basics and Crab Island etiquette before departure. For visitors who want a straightforward, well-priced rental from a team that genuinely knows every sandbar and channel marker in Choctawhatchee Bay, Luther's is the harbour's trusted hometown pick.
