GLENFWB:I have rented a pontoon from Luthers Pontoon (behind Fisherman's Warf Restaurant) and have also rented from Boogies which is right by the Destin Bridge. Luther's has a large boat that will hold a lot of people and gear...it is called their "J" boat...ask for it if you rent from them. It is the newest, nicest boat.
Rates are fairly similar among most places...about $150.00 for 4 hours and around $250.00 for 8 hours. Most will also charge you for gas when you bring it back. It is off season now so you might be able to talk them down to a better deal.
If you are going to dive from the boat you might want to ask them for an extra anchor. Most of them only give you an anchor in the front and when you anchor by the jetties it is good to have one in the front and back.
Hope this helps some.
terrific information buddy, thanks!
