About Us

Destin Vacation Boat Rentals is an award-winning, full-service boat and watersports equipment rental company located in beautiful Destin, FL, home of the “world’s luckiest fishing village”. With a full selection of fishing and recreational watercraft for rent, you are sure to find the boat you need to help you enjoy Destin’s premier attraction: its emerald green waters.

Owner Chris Thomas, son of Destin charter boat captain Larry Thomas, is a second-generation boat captain and has been fishing Destin waters for over 20 years. When his father passed away, Chris decided to put his knowledge, experience, and passion to good use by helping others to enjoy the sport. He founded Destin Vacation Boat Rentals in 2008 and has developed a reputation for excellent customer service and superior industry knowledge and experience.

Chris runs the business with his wife, Heather, a Destin, Florida native. Heather shares his passion for the area, its waterways, and the business, and puts her hospitality background to work by focusing on the little details that make a good experience great.

With a dedication to providing excellent customer service and a passion for fishing and boating, we strive to be the best in the business. Our goal is to make every effort, within reason, to provide a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience that will make you remember your Destin vacation for years to come.
