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

Wonderful. The guides were the best. I just remember Molly's name and the guy driving the boat. Check it out. Can't wait to go again

Greatest water experience

We had a wonderful time on our excursion. Gene and Maudie were really great and the people on our cruise were super fun!

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!

It was so easy to book everything on tripshock and arrive to each activity stress free, definitely recommend it.

Amazing 

We were in search of the clear blue Destin waters and ended up on a tea colored water sandbar! It was still fun but apparently you have to time it according to the tides because the waters aren’t always beautiful. They were quite murky, but we still had a blast! The kids loved the spider on board. Of note, you have to rent the floats. We thought they were included but it was only the lily pad
