If it isn't raining and your destination is along the waterway, Destin Water Taxi is FANTASTIC! Crystal and Jimmy are precise about pick-ups and communicate well, and it's a great way to soak in the Florida atmosphere and not have to worry about finding a place to park (especially if you are going to the Boardwalk, snorkeling, boating, fishing, etc.) Highly recommended!
