1. Pontoon Boats
If looking to rent a pontoon boat for the day, the hardest decision should be with or without a slide. Luckily, that’s all you have to decide when booking your rental through OB Watersports.
All pontoon boats are equipped with 4-stroke motors, a bimini top which covers half of the boat from the sun, life jackets, an onboard ladder for getting in and out of the water. Boats with slides can accommodate large parties up to 12 people, plus they have an upperdeck, which is great for kids to enjoy (kids of all ages, of course). Both half day and full day rentals are available.
2. Jet Ski and Waverunner Dolphin Tours
Jet Ski and Waverunner Dolphins Tours are popular watersport activities along coastal Alabama.
Alabama Extreme Watersport Inc. has both jet ski and wave runner dolphin tours. They are located at Bear Point Marina, it's one of the few locations that have a no-wake zone right outside the marina, so no wasting time to get to open water.
Ride fast and explore the back bays of Orange Beach on the 3-seater Yahama jet ski! The jet ski are equipped with life vests and a dry box to store personal items.
Renters must be 19 to book. You're choice of half days or full day of fun!
Like jet ski, waverunner dolphin tours are a fun, guided 90 minute eco-excursion! The local guides will take you to popular spots for marine wildlife and capture incredible moments. Renters must be 19 to book a tour.
3. Parasailing
Vacationers and locals to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach will struggle to find a time of day during the spring and summer where there isn’t a parasail boat cruising down the coastline with a colorful parasail high in the sky behind. You don’t have to be a spectator, sail high above the Gulf!
Float 400 feet above the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, giving you aerial views of the sugar-white sand of Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Perdido Key. You’ll also get a view of marine life like sea turtles and dolphins.
