Your jet ski may reach speeds of up to 55 mph, depending on conditions. Your guide will keep you in sight if you want to try out a little speed on your way to the dolphins. If you prefer a slower pace, we can manage that, too.

You don’t need any prior experience to take our jet ski dolphin tour. You’ll be provided with instruction before your tour begins.

Well, we’re pretty confident in our ability to help you see some dolphins on your tour. But, the dolphins at Panama City Beach are wild creatures. We can’t guarantee that they’ll cooperate with our plans. Our tour guides are familiar with the area and where the dolphins can be found. We’ll do our best to make sure you get to see the wonderful creatures up close and in their natural habitat during your jet ski dolphin tour.

Our tour guide will take you to some of the best places to see dolphins, including Shell Island. If you’d like to stop at the island to snorkel or look for shells, we can do that, too. It is your tour, after all.

Your jet ski will have enough room to stash your snorkel gear, bottled water or anything else that can handle getting wet. You won’t want to bring anything that can’t handle being in the water, though. Plan to bring what you would need to be out in the sun for the duration of your tour–just make sure it’s sealed up tight.

We recommend that expectant mothers do not ride our jet skis.

CRAB ISLAND DOLPHIN JETSKI ADVENTURE

Is there anything more memorable that getting up close and personal with a dolphin? We think not. How about being able to do it in their natural habitat instead of through a piece of glass?

What about a dolphin cruise in Fort Walton Beach that lets you get as close as you possibly can to these amazing creatures?

You’re in luck, because Destiny Water Adventures is the premier destination for dolphin tours and cruises in the Destin, FL area. Let our expert staff and unmatched service deliver you and your family an experience you won’t ever forget!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes. Food and drinks are absolutely allowed on the boats, and we actually provide coolers for you! Just keep in mind that Florida’s law requires boat operators to remain under .08 blood alcohol level. If you need a designated driver we also have Captains for hire. There are also vendors near Crab island that provide food and beverages.

No. Even as a master captain of ten years I would feel unsafe attempting an ocean voyage on a small craft. The waters in the Gulf near Destin and the East Pass can get very rough and high seas make ocean attempts extremely dangerous.

Crab Island is a a sand bar that was actually once an island. It is a destination for many boaters where they have access to floating bars, restaurants, inflatable water parks, and other attractions.

Yes. We have all necessary Coast Guard approved life jackets and floatation devices that come includes with your boat rental. We have life jackets for both children and adults available for you.

No, tubing is not allowed with a standard boat rental. However, if you’d like to go tubing, you can ask about a licensed Captain taking you. We do allow that.

No. We have free parking right near your boat pick-up location. No traffic. No lines.

Boat renters must be 18 years old with valid I.D. and major credit card. This is required, and there are no exceptions to this rule.

Drivers born after Jan 1st, 1988 must obtain a boaters safety card. You may obtain one here , or you can obtain a license at our location. The test is relatively easy and you can take it until you pass! In order to operate a motorboat of ten (10) horsepower or greater, Florida law requires anyone who was born on or after Jan. 1, 1988 to successfully complete an approved boating safety course and obtain a Boating Safety Education Identification Card issued by the FWC.

(If in person, you need to arrive 45 min to 1 hour prior to departure.) See this page for instructions and for links to complete these items.

The Captain will assess the weather and should it be determined the conditions are unsafe to run the tour, the tour may be postponed or it will be canceled.

Hands down, the best equipment and group of people!

I just wanted to send a special thanks to Jason, Taylor, and the whole staff over at Xtreme H20. There are a lot of places you can rent a watercraft but not all of them have the a caring, friendly, and down right awesome owner and staff that Xtreme have.

Had a great time!

This was our first parasail, and I chose H2O since they had more positive reviews than most of the other outfits... The captain and the deckhand were polite, professional, and funny. They made sure everyone was safely secured before letting them "fly", and we had a great time sailing over the water... When I get a chance to return to Destin, I'll be parasailing with Xtreme H2O again.

Jet ski dolphin tour

It was probably the best money that I have ever spent in Destin. Staff was awesome from check in til completion of tour. Brayden was our guide and we saw lots and lots of dolphins in several different places. If you really wanted to, you could almost pet the Dolphins. They were everywhere!

Jet Ski was on the "Bucket List" and we had a blast

Rented three units for an hour and had a great time. Equipment was in great shape and instruction was well done for those of us with no experience on a jet ski.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Chevron down What the heck is this boating license thing???

Anyone born on or after January 1st 1988 (at this time approximately anyone under 35) is required by the state of Florida to possess a boating license to operate a jet ski or boat. The purpose of this is for education and safety. Since implementing this law in 2002 boat accidents and deaths have dropped dramatically. Luckily the state allows people on vacation to get a temporary permit. Click here to get a permit boating license PASSENGERS DO NOT NEED BOATING PERMIT

• Chevron down How old do you have to be to rent a jet ski? How old to drive? Requirements?

To rent a jet ski and sign a legal contract a person must be at least 18 years old with a valid government issued photo ID. Also a person must be a minimum of 14 years old to legally operate a jet ski. Anyone born on or after January 1st 1988 is required to have a boating license by law.

A watch is provided and attached to the jet ski so you can keep track of rental time.

• Chevron down What should I bring with me?

A valid government photo I.D. (operators only, not required for passengers). Also, apply a reef safe sunscreen before arrival. It works much better that way! If you are going on the jet ski tour you are welcome to bring a small bottle of water and some extra reef safe sunscreen to reapply.

It depends on conditions. Normally when conditions are calm we allow for 4 years old and up for jet ski rentals and 6 years old and up for jet ski tours .

Miles Johnson

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.

Some books are easier to write when their subject is dead. Several years ago, a Russian journalist contacted the press service of Yevgeny Prigozhin while preparing an innocuous “day in the life” story about his family. The PR team of the Russian mercenary boss responded by telling the reporter that if she proceeded, her emails would be hacked, her car would be run off the road and she was at risk of being raped. 

A year after the Wagner Group leader staged a spectacular mutiny against Vladimir Putin and died in a suspected state assassination, two complementary books tell, in gripping style, Prigozhin’s implausible journey from street hot-dog seller to secretive international warlord to a social media-addicted insurrectionist. 

Downfall by Anna Arutunyan and Mark Galeotti, one a Russian-American journalist and the other a British historian, casts Prigozhin as a creature spawned in Putin’s Russia who eventually turns on his patron and creator. In The Wagner Group , Jack Margolin, an independent researcher and expert on modern mercenaries, provides a deeply reported history of the Wagner private military company. Both books show how the ill-fated Wagner mutiny was a product of the “ad-hocracy” that defines Putin’s rule — and that Prigozhin’s savage, entrepreneurial spin on the privatisation of force will probably long outlive him.

Arutunyan and Galeotti skilfully intertwine Prigozhin’s biography with Putin’s own rise to power. In their telling, the president is cast as the tsar presiding over myriad squabbling subordinates playing “games of court”, amid which Prigozhin emerged as a sort of ultra-violent court jester.

It is only through understanding the nature of this system that it is possible to grasp how a caterer ended up controlling a sprawling private army based across three continents. The fact that the Russian war machine came to rely on a man like Prigozhin, the authors write, “is, at its core, an admission of a moral and ideological vacuum at the heart of ‘Putinism’”.

Prigozhin could not compete with far richer oligarchs who made their money in natural resources . . . ‘his commodity of choice was force’

We first meet Prigozhin as a wayward youth in 1970s Leningrad. Born into a middle-class background to a mother who was a doctor and with a stepfather who was a ski instructor, the young “Zhenya” fell into a life of petty crime. After robbing a woman at knifepoint, he was sentenced to 13 years in prison. Inside the brutal, stratified environment of Soviet-era penal colonies, he seemingly thrived among the thieves and villains before emerging into a collapsing empire ripe with opportunity. 

Just as Prigozhin stepped out of prison in the early 1990s into a world transformed, the man who would later become Russia’s president was a dazed 38-year-old ex-KGB officer just back from a posting in Dresden in communist East Germany. Traumatised by the end of the Soviet Union, he initially drove a taxi to make ends meet before moving into the world of St Petersburg politics. Prigozhin, meanwhile, turned the talents he learnt in prison to businesses. He made his first million dollars by setting up kiosks selling the exotic American delicacy of hot dogs. In his telling, while he mixed the mustard in his kitchen his mother counted the cash.

As the 1990s progressed, Prigozhin made friends in the Russian underworld and set up a string of fancy restaurants cosplaying the aristocratic grandeur of the 19th century. An early venture, called The Old Customs House, proved a hit, serving up expensive imported food to status-conscious emerging tycoons and power brokers. He micromanaged his kitchen with a furious temper, once having a cook dragged into a cellar and beaten into a hospital bed for serving an underwhelming plate of tomatoes to a VIP customer. Years later he would subject his catering staff to a polygraph after a chair was damaged at a state function.

It is in this extended salon of conspicuous consumption and bulletproof Mercedes limousines, with organised crime figures mingling with bureaucrats and spies, that Prigozhin first met Putin. By the turn of the millennium, Putin was president, and the ambitious caterer wined and dined his new master, who in turn used Prigozhin’s restaurants to host dinners for visiting dignitaries such as George W Bush and the future King Charles III. 

Prigozhin parlayed his connections into lucrative and rigged state catering contracts. Margolin notes how, by 2012, Prigozhin’s companies controlled 90 per cent of Russia’s military catering, worth $2.9bn at historical exchange rates. The food was slop. Aviation academy cadets found cockroaches in their porridge, and local school children got dysentery. 

But while his restaurants allowed him slowly to gain access to Putin’s court, as Arutunyan and Galeotti write, he was doomed to forever remain an outsider, a serf and the butt of jokes. (In one encounter Putin greeted the bald-headed Prigozhin with “nice hairstyle!”.) Unlike the Russian president’s true inner circle of childhood friends, judo sparring partners and ex-KGB hardmen, the chef was dispensable, vulnerable and always had to prove his usefulness to the tsar.

While other far richer oligarchs attempted to please Putin through ploughing the billions they had made from extracting rents from privatised natural resources into snow-barren provinces, or buying up foreign football teams, Prigozhin could not compete on those terms. He needed to find his own niche. When Putin seized Crimea in 2014, the chef spotted his opening. As Margolin writes, “his commodity of choice was force”.

“Little green men” — troops in unmarked uniforms — then invaded eastern Ukraine, and bands of pro-Russian “volunteers” declared a breakaway republic in Donetsk. Putin claimed these were simply the spontaneous actions of “patriots”. But the Kremlin’s need to maintain plausible deniability over its invasion had to be balanced with the ill-disciplined irregular forces it was cultivating in Ukraine. This provided Prigozhin’s opportunity to offer up a more organised, but still unofficial military solution. 

Through an introduction to Dmitry Utkin, a former Spetsnaz (special forces) officer with multiple Nazi tattoos, Prigozhin secretly established the basis of the private military company that would come to be known as Wagner, named after Utkin’s call sign, a tribute to his favourite composer. Supported by Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency, Prigozhin would later proudly recollect how he himself “cleaned old weapons, sorted out [military kit] and found specialists. On 1 May 2014, a group of patriots was born”.

Margolin expertly chronicles the evolution of this fledgling outfit into what he calls “the ‘second’ Wagner, a sprawling network of companies born from Prigozhin’s earlier illicit endeavours”. Moving beyond Ukraine, Prigozhin began offering his services to embattled and kleptocratic dictators such as Syria’s Bashar al-Assad and Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir, trading security and propaganda services from his burgeoning troll farms, in return for natural resources concessions. Fighters with call signs such as “Zombie” and “Lotos” who had washed out of the conventional Russian military for criminality or insubordination rose to become feared Wagner commanders.

This brought handsome benefits for both Prigozhin and the Kremlin, bolstering its ties with useful, if unsavoury, regimes at a relatively low cost. Prigozhin carved out a market for doing deals in places that regular multinationals wouldn’t touch. Unburdened by the rules that govern state armies, Wagner fighters inflicted horrific atrocities on local populations including summary executions, torture and rape.

Western governments responded with economic sanctions against Prigozhin and his companies. Publicly, he continued to deny any connection with Wagner, and went after journalists reporting on his empire. In one instance he used expensive London libel lawyers to sue them. In another, his men were suspected of murdering three Russian reporters in the Central African Republic in 2018. 

Prigozhin’s demise showed ‘not just how the Putin system works, but how it is beginning to fail’

But secrecy also came at a cost. In Syria Wagner fighters were massacred in February 2018 by US firepower as Russia’s Ministry of Defence refused to acknowledge them as their own. It left Prigozhin seething, sowing the seeds of a vendetta that would violently resurface years later.

With Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Prigozhin came full-circle. As the Russian war effort faltered, Wagner was drafted in to help. The ex-convict returned to the haunts of his youth and began recruiting prisoners to sign up to his private army. And, like a cartoon villain having their mask pulled off, Prigozhin took to social media to finally admit, after years of denials, lies and threats, that he really had launched Wagner seven years before. 

Any triumph was shortlived. In the burning wreckage of Bakhmut, eastern Ukraine, where Wagner fighters were massacred in “human wave” attacks reminiscent of the first world war, Prigozhin descended into the crazed fury that eventually destroyed him and his private army. Dressed in body armour and surrounded by the corpses of his men, Prigozhin took to social media to unleash ever angrier tirades against the incompetent and corrupt Russian war effort as well as calling into question the whole basis on which the invasion was launched. “Shoigu! Gerasimov! Where’s the fucking ammo?” he screamed in a rant in May 2023 directed at Russia’s then top military leadership.

The man who once served Putin his supper in St Petersburg was now firing off unspeakable, shocking truths about the system that created him. Turning on his one-time master, he marched his men towards Moscow last June, only to then dramatically stand them down a few hundred kilometres from the capital following a hastily brokered truce. For an eerie while, it seemed as if nothing had happened and all had been forgotten. Prigozhin swapped fighting in Ukraine and social media for a quieter life. But no one expected Putin to forgive the betrayal. Two months later, in August 2023, a private jet carrying Prigozhin, Utkin and other Wagner leaders exploded in mid-air killing everyone on board.

For Margolin, it was the logical conclusion of the internecine competition of the Putin regime, a mix of medieval feudalism and globalised capital that had “given rise to a cast of violent and criminal entrepreneurs”. Arutunyan and Galeotti note that Prigozhin, thuggish, venal and desperate, was no revolutionary. But his insurrection may be remembered as a turning point in Russian history. His demise showed “not just how the Putin system works, but how it is beginning to fail”.

“Nonetheless, someday, democracy will be coming to Russia,” they write, “and . . . Prigozhin’s disruptive mutiny and critique will have played its part in that process”.
