LOOKING FOR A PLACE WHERE OASIS MEETS adventure? Destin’s top tourist attraction, Wet-N-Wild Watersports, has exactly what you’re looking for in a day of excursions!

Wet-N-Wild has everything from pontoon rentals, parasailing, dolphin cruises and more. As you begin to plan your vacation, you’ll find numerous options for watercraft rentals in the area. But none will compare to what Wet-N-Wild brings to the table and their ideal proximity as the closest excursion spot to Crab Island.

◄ ▶ Parasailing Live life on the wild side with parasailing! Wet-N-Wild has a five-star ranking for their parasailing experience. Glide above the beautiful views of Crab Island and the emerald waters on your Destin parasailing excursion. Wet-N-Wild offers amazing deals when you book a parasailing excursion with them — they offer a deal of the day, plus you can save an additional $5 when booking online with promo code HIGH5.

Some of the Destin Florida Magazine gang got a chance to experience the fun for ourselves, and the Wet-NWild team did not disappoint. They took us out parasailing and, we have to admit, it was more than we ever imagined! The crew made us feel safe and secure by explaining the step-by-step process for the parasailing adventure. Once we made our way up high in the Destin sky, the views were absolutely breathtaking. While we glided above the water, we caught a glimpse of Destin’s ocean life. We could see everything from dolphins to fish jumping out of the water, and we were told that you can occasionally spot sea turtles.

▶ Jet Ski Rentals The fun doesn’t end at parasailing! Wet-N-Wild is Destin’s number one Jet Ski-rental service. And Jet Skis offer the most convenient option for venturing to the popular Crab Island. Plus, you’ll avoid the boat traffic and no wake zones with Wet-N-Wild’s nearby location.

Wet-N-Wild offers Jet Skis with up to three seats and speeds as fast as 50 mph. If renting a Jet Ski is on your vacation agenda, make sure you understand all of the qualifications for renting and driving a Jet Ski. Specifically, make sure you understand the rules of obtaining a boat license. Wet-N-Wild makes this tedious task easy for their guests by providing all of the boat license details on their website.

▲ Boat Rentals If you are looking for an excursion out to Crab Island or a relaxing boat day, then gather your crew of up to 12 and head out on one of Wet-NWild’s pontoons. Wet-N-Wild’s 24-foot, 60-horsepower Grand Island Pontoon Boats are fully equipped for your group, featuring life jackets for each guest, an anchor, ample seating and tables for snacking between swims. If a full day of boating seems too much for your group, don’t worry. Wet-N-Wild offers rates for half-days as well. Whether you’re out for several hours or a full day, you’ll likely spot some of the Emerald Coast’s beautiful wildlife, such as dolphins or sea turtles, while out in the Destin waters. A pontoon is a perfect choice for a day out on the water and trip to Crab Island — just don’t forget to partake in the friendly boaters’ wave. Crab Island An area favorite for tourists and locals alike, Crab Island’s spacious and uniquely shallow waters offer the perfect place for boaters and Jet Skiers to gather. Pull up, park your vessel and stay awhile! Crab Island is host to numerous food, beverage, float and souvenir vendors.

Destin East Jetties These man-made large-rock structures were formed in 1969 as protection from hurricanes. But they have since become a hot spot for ocean life, making the shallow shores of the east side the perfect location for snorkeling and shelling. The Destin East Jetties are located on the Gulf side of the Marler Bridge, opposite Crab Island. The whitesand beach lining the coast leading up to the rocky fingers, make for the perfect spot to pull up on your Jet Ski for some exploration.

Gulf Islands National Seashore If you’re looking to escape the crowds, head over to the Gulf Islands National Seashore of neighboring Okaloosa Island. This stretch of beach tends to be less crowded and its shallow shores offer a great place to stop for a swim break.

▶ Dolphin Excursion Last, but certainly not least, Wet-N-Wild offers a Crab Island Dolphin Excursion & Guided Jet Ski tour. On the guided tour, you will come up close with pods of wild bottlenose dolphins. The dolphin tour will also allow you and your group to enjoy a ride along the crystal emerald waters. Many tourists enjoy this guided Jet Ski tour because the Wet-N-Wild guides lead the way to the best spots for dolphins and friendly ocean life. Your group will also be able to explore the popular Crab Island on your Jet Ski. Rides officially start for the day at 8:30 a.m., and each tour lasts for one and a half hours. This excursion is not only a blast, but also an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience!

We highly recommend you book with Destin’s top ranked excursion business in the area. A Destin favorite, Wet-N-Wild is located at 119 Calhoun Ave., in the heart of some of the area’s most popular restaurants and just three minutes from the Destin Harbor. After your excursion, head to one of the neighboring restaurants in the area for a bite to eat.
