Paradise Pontoon and Captain Services

Magic Tilt boat trailers are JUNK! After just two years, I had to replace both axles. At 2.5 years ALL of the support brackets are nothing but soft j***y rust. They used STEEL staples to attach the plastic onto the wood. JUNK. We replaced two of our trailer with these junkers and should have bought one made of marshmallows...at least they would have tasted good. The leaf springs are junk, Everything that isnt the frame is JUNK. Please dont waste $7000 or more on their JUNK

This upcoming season is the second season since the acquisition of Paradise Pontoon and Captain services. We maintained a five star rating for the season and we intend to continue the same quality of service. We may be the only business who only wants to get paid for exactly what we provide. We recommend booking for 4 hours or less and then making the decision to extend while you are on the water. That way you get what you pay for instead of paying for more hours and not spending that much time on the water. We WILL book as many hours as you want but things can come up on the water that makes staying unlikely. Our double decker slide boat was very popular last year and we are considering purchasing another one. We pride ourselves on providing very nice luxurious clean boats along with all the toys to make the day memorable. Thanks to ECCS for providing us with great captains last year and we hope they will all return this year as well. Finally, thank YOU, the customer for trusting us with your day of fun. This year we hope to be giving away nice shirts to anyone who books any level of trip with us.

Our first year owning this business was an outstanding one! All reviews positive. Every trip successful. Unfortunately we had to turn a lot of people down for a trip because we just didnt have enough boats to take everyone out that wanted to go. We really suggest booking early to make sure you get the date and time you want. Mucho thanks to everyone who sailed with us this season and we would love to have you back and all of your friends too.

For the remainder of the month of March, we are offering a 30% discount on all weekday trips and a 20% discount on weekend trips. This offer is only available for the month of March. That means a group of 7 people can go out on the water for under $500. Still plenty of vacancy available.

It is our intent to make this year the best yet. The only way we can do that is to make sure our prices are competitive and that every trip is the best trip. We purchased this company in October and want to make this one as successful as the other ones we own. We KNOW how to make each trip special and we look forward to proving it with price, selection (yes we have several tiers of tours) and service. We can handle up to 28 people (3 boats) and even more in conjunction with other companies that work with us.

Any trips booked between now and February 22nd for ANY day (except holiday weekends) will be priced at LAST YEARS prices. That even includes the Treasure Hunt cruise.

Could easily lead to full time seasonal job. No mariner credentials needed. This is for bare boat charters. You DO need extensive experience with pleasure boats. You will also need to know how to load and unload, back a trailer and other things associated with boats. Pay is dependent on experience.

Coming starting in March---TREASURE HUNTS!

10/29/2022

We will be offering Treasure Hunt Cruises starting in March. Designed especially for children 3yrs to 10 yrs old. REAL treasure will be searched for and discovered! Start the cruise by selecting from 4 maps representing 4 islands where treasure is buried. Follow the clues on the map and the island to the exact location the loot is buried. One of the 4 maps/islands has the Grand Prize of at least $100. If not discovered during the month, $25 is added until it is discovered. The other bounty includes faux jewels, pirate coins and old American Silver Dollars for EVERYONE in your group. In addition, it still includes the boat ride and a trip to crab island or dolphin searches or whatever time allows for. All Strong Charter boats are now offering this EXCLUSIVE Treasure Hunt. 72 hour notice is necessary in order to set up the treasures.

Paradise pontoon and Captain services has been purchased and is under new ownership and management. ANYONE who has had a negative experience is eligible for a 30% discount on your next visit. We own two other boat charter services and have a FIVE STAR rating with NO negative reviews. We had NO control over how things were operated before October 14th of 2022. We offer ALL of the good things (except for the drone photos) and even more. The prices will remain the same until March on 2023 at which time there will be a slight price increase. Anything booked before then (except for holiday weekends) will be charged the 2022 prices. We can accommodate up to 38 people at one time and there is a discount on larger groups. We have NEVER been late or not shown up for a group. In fact, if you read some of the reviews, we have "saved" a lot of groups from not having a boat and captain. Our captains are military veterans and are dispatched to you from Emerald Coast Captain Services. Two of our boats have a 10 person capacity and two have 8 person capacity. The phone number is the same and is always answered either immediately or within one hour of the call during normal business hours. Please reach out to us, especially if you had a bad experience with the previous owner.

Crab Island Yesterday, Sunday Aug. 29 2022. Mindy's crew is enjoying some ultra clear emerald green water just before the tide line came through and made it more like the water they know from Boston!

The East Jetty, a popular stop along our tour. Will always have the clearest water conditions inside the pass, one of the best snorkeling locations and very little if any current makes it safer than where the current is always ripping.

Nothing I like better than leaving Crab Island in my rear view and going out the East Pass with Johnny Horton's Battle of New Orleans cranking at max volume. Which we did during long time friend, Brandi O'Hearn's trip with me. 7-6-2022.
