Meet the Owners: The People Behind Navarre Family Watersports Adventure Complex
At Navarre Family Watersports Adventure Complex, every day is about helping families make memories on the water. As Navarre’s only family adventure park, Navarre Family Watersports offers visitors unforgettable fun — from pontoon rentals and waverunners to our ropes course, inflatable waterpark, and private beach. Behind the fun of our pontoons, Waverunners, ropes course, inflatable waterpark, kayaks, paddle boards, and private beach is a family story of hard work, vision, and a deep love for the Navarre community.
Our Story: Building the Navarre Family Watersports Adventure Complex
When we opened our doors in 2013, we started small with just a few pontoons and Jet Skis, a lot of determination, and a dream to create a place where families could enjoy the beauty of Navarre while having fun, feeling safe, and making lasting memories together.
Over the years, that dream has grown into Navarre’s only Family Adventure Complex. A destination where adventure and relaxation come together. What began with simple rentals has evolved into a full-day experience featuring dolphin excursions across the Santa Rosa Sound, giving families the chance to watch playful dolphins glide through the clear coastal waters in their natural environment.
Today, we offer something for everyone: thrilling watersports for the adventurer, a three-story ropes course and zipline for the climber, a giant inflatable waterpark for the kids-at-heart, peaceful kayaking and paddle boarding for the explorer, and a private beach for those who simply want to unwind and take in a spectacular sunset.
Each activity from our pontoon and jetski rentals to our dolphin excursions, 3-story ropes course, waterpark, Glow Paddle, and relaxed waterfront dining and cantina — has been carefully built around one goal: creating a place where families come together on the water.
Meet Greg and Angie Britton
Greg and Angie Britton moved to Navarre in 2002, drawn by its natural beauty, small-town charm, and sense of community. Married for more than 30 years, we’ve built our family and our future here, watching both our community and our business grow.
Greg began his career in manufacturing and has spent much of his professional life helping businesses and communities thrive. His experience includes serving in Governor Scott’s administration at what is now FloridaCommerce, where he led strategic business development for the state. Today, he serves as State Director of the Florida Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network, helping small businesses across all 67 Florida counties launch, grow, and thrive.
He has also served as inaugural chair of the Northwest Florida Manufacturers Council, board member of FloridaMakes, past-chair of One Okaloosa EDC, and currently serves as chair of SelectFlorida, the state’s international trade organization.
While those leadership roles represent a lifelong commitment to strengthening Florida’s economy, our greatest pride is what we’ve built here in Navarre. A family-driven business that continues to bring joy to visitors year after year.
Angie has been the steady support behind the scenes since the beginning. While she doesn’t work directly in day-to-day operations, she has always provided the balance, encouragement, and strength that have allowed both our family and business to flourish. Her dedication as a homemaker and mother created the foundation that continues to guide everything we do.
And our son, Chris, now supports the business by managing our website and assisting with operations — helping ensure that every guest’s experience starts long before they arrive on-site.
Partnerships That Make Us Stronger
Some of the best parts of this journey have been the friendships and partnerships that have formed along the way. Together, we’ve built a community of local businesses that complement one another and make the Adventure Complex a full-day destination for families.
🌮 Shark Bite
Amazing Breakfast Burritos!
Our great friends who we love dearly Rich, Ang, and Gary are the creative force behind Shark Bite, a name that has become synonymous with great food and friendly service in Navarre. Their passion for quality and creativity shines through in both of their food trailer operations located right here on our property.
The Original Shark Bite, located in our front parking lot, serves up their famous breakfast burritos and bowls — a local favorite that’s earned glowing reviews and a loyal following on Yelp. It’s the perfect way to start the day before heading out on the water or before burning some energy on our ropes course and waterpark.
Great Food and Beautiful Sunsets – Located on The Beach
Down by our private beach overlooking the Santa Rosa Sound, their second operation — Shark Bite Pirates Cove — offers a coastal dining experience with an incredible view. Guests can enjoy Cuban sandwiches, fish tacos, shrimp tacos, smash burgers, hot dogs, and more, all made fresh and served with genuine hometown hospitality.
🍹 Gulfview Aloha Cantina
Beer, wine, fun, and family-friendly
Gulfview Aloha Cantina brings a laid-back island vibe to the complex, serving beer and wine with beautiful waterfront views. The Cantina operates under its own name, ensuring that guests can enjoy refreshing beverages in compliance with state licensing, while maintaining the same welcoming atmosphere and coastal charm that define our property.
Together, the two Shark Bite Breakfast Burritos, Shark Bite Pirates Cove, and the Gulfview Aloha Cantina have transformed our waterfront into a true gathering place — where guests can enjoy great food, cold drinks, and the best views in Navarre.
