Great time & experience

Ryan and Kaiden captained our trip to Crab Island and I couldn’t be more pleased. Those guys made the trip easy and enjoyable. They were polite, helpful, and attentive. We got to see dolphins on our way to the island and had a prime location for getting off the boat and enjoying the island. The boat was stocked with ice cold water free for the guests.

Great experience!

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!

Everything was tip top on your end. I had a special needs child that gave us problems with being out on crab island. We as a family loved it and had a great experience with your captian and staff,  we just had a hit or miss with my daughter not in the mood to be in the water, besides that I felt we could have spent all day long out there lol

Great

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

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.
