Our pontoon ride was amazing, the staff was also great. They were very attentive and dedicated to making sure we had a great time. I know one person was Lindsey, she was wonderful and so was the captain (i cannot remember his name but he was also great). 

10/10 experience and highly recommend

Had an excellent time!

Spencer & Izzy were wonderful! We had a great day, and they made our experience memorable! I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking!

We had a great time! Would definitely rebook.

Great time!

Check-in was easy & the staff is simply amazing! They treated us like we were family and had known us for years. They made my daughters day from the very get go. Captain Justin & 1st Mate Axle are hands down the best crew in the industry! Their generosity, sincerity, and kindness provides a priceless experience that helped create timeless memories. You all are amazing and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart! Until next time my friends!

Amazing

Me and the fam had an awesome time! Captain Justin and Axle were super friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend these guys to anybody.

3hr crab Island excursion

The captain and his first mate was very nice and funny, they were there if you needed help. Very amazing job! 10 out of 10

It was our first time going to crab island and we will definitely be back. I recommend this package, 10/10. We were able to see dolphins and enjoy the water toys they had. The guides were attentive and helped out with anything we needed. They are truly the best.

Best Experience with Amazing Guides!

We took a trip with Captain Wendy and her deck hand. They did everything to make it as fun as possible. I loved the water toys, she had Bote boards, couches and snorkeling gear. She pointed out birds that dropped shells and the kids found them! Great day and the music was fantastic!!!!

Great day at Crab Island

Our hosts were lively and comical. It wasn't very busy so plenty of room to paddle board without running into other groups in the water.

Laid back good time

Our group had an amazing time. There were 14 of us in total!! The only suggestion I have is to let everyone know exactly where to park. There are two parking lots side-by-side, and we were directed to move, and you know, with this traffic, that was a very hard thing to do. Also, let everyone know that you pay at the kiosk and that there is no cash option for parking. That’s something your website needs to update. But our captain and crew were very nice as well!

We had so much fun we needed up going on the afternoon trip as well! The crew was so nice and fun and friendly and knowledgeable!

Trip was fantastic. Captain was friendly, courteous, and took care to be safe. Will definitely be going back on our next trip to Florida!

Captain Taylor was really great, extremely knowledgeable and took care to ensure we did all the activities we wanted, then got us back, right on time. 
Kudos!

Great chill

Went on the 3 hour swim and chill tour with Captain Taylor we had six people  ages 17 to 52. . Capt Taylor was hands down the best captain we have ever had at crab island. He was knowledge about the local marine life. Saw two sea turtles and countless dolphins before shoring up at crab island. He placed us smack in the middle, played good tunes and was extremely attentive to us all.  Captain Taylor made our trip the best. Highly recommend the experience.

Great Fun.

Taylor was our captain and made sure we had a pleasant experience for the 4 hours that we had the catamaran booked!  Trip started with going to look for some dolphins, which resulted in us watching 3-4 dolphins swim for about 15-20 mins.  We then headed to Crab Island where Taylor got us some prime real estate right near Reef Burger and the shop that sells all the inflatables.  He made sure that we did not have to get in and out of the water for our drinks and even got in the water and interacted with us where other Captains just sat there and there was no interaction.
We will definitely be booking this trip again next year!  The extra money for the private boat for 6 is well worth it!

The pontoon was exactly what we wanted. It had
everything we needed and captain Casey was absolutely the best captain we could have asked for.  She gave us so much information and helped with all the equipment. The pontoon was a perfect size for the 6 of us.  Highly recommend it.  Thanks Captain Casey, from Houston,  Texas.

Had an awesome experience with Captain Casey

The beat life long memories and the captain was the best

Exactly what you expect on a great day out on the gulf

Only 2 of our 6 total guests made it for this adventure due to uncontrollable circumstances. Nonetheless, we had a great time! As it was my first time ever being on or near the gulf coast and seeing the white sands and clear blue water. My sister being the other guest that made it. It was nice to share the experience. 
Our captain was friendly and knowledgeable, despite the suprise of just 2 guests attending, he had some funny jokes and kept us entertained the whole time. 
Our only downside is that our guests didn't come along, otherwise I will totally recommend this charter/website to others heading to the area.
