We had such a great time out with Lee and Dillon. They created awesome conversation and helped everyone to feel at ease. The flight was fantastic and we got a great dip in the gulf  before getting pulled in. Would definitely recommend and go again with this crew.

Great Ride!

This company was so great that I can’t say enough meaningful things to do them justice.  
We had an amazing time and would recommend them many times over and over again!!!

Crab island runner excellence!

I highly recommended this. We were able to see dolphins and even a shark when we went for a toodle. When we got to crab island the crew parked us by a food boat and had Maui mats for us to use.

Affordable & fun!

We had a blast on this trip! We brought our 2 young daughters (7 and 5.) They loved seeing the dolphins and the calm shallow water at Crab Island. The captain and other guide were fun and attentive. The personal coolers and ice for drinks were a nice touch too. We would definitely do this again.

Great Family Day

We had 5 adults & 3 kids in our party. Overall, the experience was unforgettable. We took a ride to the deeper water and saw dolphins pretty close to the boat. Kids & adults were amazed. Then, we took a quick minute ride to Crab Island. The visit to Crab Island was so amazing. The adults and the kids had a blast. The water only being a few feet deep was perfect. Enough to swim, float, stand & have a blast.  We were there 3 hours and it was PLENTY of time to have fun & be ready to come back. 

Loved that there were food boats & floaty boats. Think food trucks but in water. However, once you order, you had to wait like 30 minutes for them to go to the dock, pick up food and come back. 

As for the boat we were on - the boat itself was spacious & comfy. Came with float pads so our whole family fit in it. However, service was not great. Advertisement said it comes with a bar for alcohol beverages and snacks. Not true. Hubby and I placed an order for two margaritas as we left the dock for the island. Nearly an hour in, I had to ask for our drinks. The captain and deck hand were in the water enjoying the island too. Now reminded, he got back on and handed me two margarita bottles in a cooler. And we were not offers snacks nor saw a menu. 

As annoying as that was, the island experience was so great, it didn’t matter. We know next time, don’t order drinks. 

Overall, I’d rate the experience with this company a 5.5/10. The island experience 10/10.

It was cool

From check in to getting off the boat everything was seamless. This team was helpful, hospitable and provided a great time. Will
Be booking again

This was a great time. Family really enjoyed it. The guys running the boat were funny and amazingly helpful. Def will hit up again on our next trip!

Awesome time!!

Stephen & Axle were awesome boat captains. There were lots of activities for us to do once we got to crab island and they both got right in to join the fun. We had our 3yr old with us and she loved it!
They knew a lot about the area and gave us plenty of local food recommendations that weren’t totally full of tourists. Would book again!

Great experience & family friendly!

We choose the 8:30 trip to crab island. We had a party of 13, 5 being kids ages 2-9 years.   We questioned bringing ours kids but it was the most fun we had all week.  Spencer and Caleb were our captains and they were very accommodating and so much fun.  We brought rafts but did not need them. The paddle boards and Lilly pads  that were provided were enough.  Our kids loved the  boats selling ice cream and fresh pineapples. I highly recommend this trip and would do it again in a heart beat!  I would choose the early trip, the longer we were there, the busier it was.

Highly recommend, even with kids!

We did a four-hour charter to Crab Island with Captain Jay. He was very friendly and entertaining. We got lucky and were able to get up close to six dolphins and even watched a helicopter take off from a floating helipad. He also offered us great suggestions for food and drink afterward.

We had a great time at Crab Island! The boat was big, with storage space under the benches. The canopy cover was large so we had lots of shade. We were rained out halfway through our trip, so we were offered the afternoon trip for no extra charge. We will be repeat customers when we come back to Destin!

Captain Daniel and 1st Mate Kevin are fabulous!

Very  clean boat. This is a family run trip and they were awsome. We encountered some bad weather  but they invited all on the trip back for the later trip or a voucher for the next time you visited Destin. I would recommend this trip and I would go again. Oh we also saw dolphins very close to the boat. Chris Lay

Cameron did an excellent job helping me try to find a crab on crab island....we asked him about restaurants to which he filled us in. Thanks Cam!!

Cameron's Texas Crew

This was literally the best part of our 6 day trip in Fort Walton Beach/Destin. (4 adults) The excursion itself was great…dolphins, multi-million dollar mansions, gorgeous boats, and of course crab island, which was a blast! Captain Logan was seriously the best! He was a great boating captain, but even better company. Very friendly and easy to talk to. 20/10 would absolutely do this again, and even request Logan as our captain.

THE best part of our trip!

Captain Chandler was great to push our start time out a couple hours due to the weather. We enjoyed snorkeling & Chandler found dolphins right away. We then enjoyed our first visit to Crab Island. Chandler was a great captain & played all of our music requests! The only reason we aren’t giving a 5-star rating is because the bathroom was not available as advertised. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience.

First Adventure to Crab Island

Me and my sisters (6 of us) had a great time with Captain Chandler. Got to hang at the crabby island for a bit and then we got to see 4 dolphins and got a tour of the beautiful homes near by.

Great time with Captain Chandler

Captain Chandler was great! Made our trip so much fun for our boys ( ages 10-13) definitely would recommend & definitely will book again!

4th weekend fun!
