On Florida’s Emerald Coast, the Three Slide Double Decker (Perla) is a purpose-built floating social platform: a captain-operated, double-deck pontoon rigged with three waterslides, a 15‑ft lily pad, two paddleboards, premium seating and a large Bluetooth JBL speaker for music — ideal for family days, birthdays, bachelorette parties, or a relaxed run out to Crab Island and the region’s beaches.

Outing Highlights

THE DESTINATION

Crab Island: the classic sandbar playground

One of the primary draws for this rental is the ability to sail out to Crab Island and anchor for play, swimming and socializing in shallow water — a signature stop on the Emerald Coast circuit.

THE VESSEL

A double-decker party pontoon built for groups

Perla is outfitted for on‑water gatherings: three waterslides, a 15‑ft lily pad, two paddleboards, premium seating and a large Bluetooth JBL speaker, plus extras such as a cooler and a Beer Pong mat (ice available for an additional fee).

THE ROUTE

Destin Harbor and Choctawhatchee Bay runs

The rental is suited to cruising Destin Harbor and exploring Choctawhatchee Bay or relaxing along Emerald Coast beaches, offering a mix of sheltered bay water and open coastal stops.

What the day feels like

The outing unfolds as a social, captain-led cruise: load up a group (the pontoon holds up to 12 passengers), push off under music, drop anchor at Crab Island or run along the coastline for beach stops, and alternate between sunning on the deck, hitting the slides, or paddling from the boat’s lily pad and paddleboards.
