Big Duck Rentals started with a simple idea: the Emerald Coast is too beautiful to experience from the shore. So we built the friendliest, easiest, most ridiculously fun little tug boats around, and handed you the wheel. No experience needed, we train you at the dock.
Come make some memoriesBig Duck Rentals started with a simple truth: some of the best moments in life happen on the water, side by side with the person you love.
We are a local couple who built our life here on the Emerald Coast. Big Duck Rentals grew out of our other labor of love, Stellar Dweller, a boutique rental booking and coordination company that curates one-of-a-kind stays for couples. Year after year, we welcomed couples chasing a little romance and a lot of sunshine, and year after year we noticed the same thing: almost everything on the water was built for big groups, party boats, and thrill rides. Hardly anything was made for two. So we made it ourselves.
A Big Duck Tug is small, easy, and unmistakably ours. No captain license required. No crowds. No pressure. Just you, someone you love, a cooler, and the calmest, bluest water in Florida. We show you the ropes at the dock in minutes, hand you the wheel, and let you write your own afternoon, whether that is anchoring off Crab Island, drifting the intracoastal, or watching the sun melt into the Gulf.
We do this because we live it. We know these waters like our own backyard, because they are. And nothing makes us happier than handing a couple the keys to a perfect day and hearing all about it back at the dock, sun-kissed and already planning the next one.
Come make some memories. We will save you a tug.
Big Duck Rentals is proudly part of the Stellar Dweller family, our boutique booking and rental coordination company for couples seeking one-of-a-kind places to stay along the Emerald Coast.
Visit Stellar DwellerIf the name made you smile, congratulations. That is Big Duck Energy, and it is already working on you.
Big Duck Energy is quiet confidence in the littlest boat on the water. Effortless. Unbothered. Nothing to prove. It is not about the biggest engine, the fastest ride, or the flashiest anything. It is a tiny tugboat, a cooler, someone you love, and a whole afternoon of good. Somehow the smallest boat in the harbor ends up giving off the biggest vibe of all.
That vibe is the reason we started, and it is the reason we keep going. On the long days, we watch a Big Duck Tug putter back to the dock with two people grinning ear to ear, sun-kissed and already planning the next one, and it lands all over again. This is the whole point. Good vibes, handed to people we have never met, on the water we love most.
The good vibes are the real product. The boats are just how we deliver them.
Come find your Big Duck Energy. Something tells us it looks good on you.
We handle the boat, the fuel, the safety and the setup. You handle the sunscreen.
