Mrs.

I booked a pontoon boat rental through TripShock, which apparently acts as an agency for individual rental operators.
When the rental I had chosen fell through, TripShock proactively found an alternate operator and made all the arrangements to switch my booking.
A woman from TripShock called me to let me know what was going on and answered all my questions, and TripShock followed up with e-mails and text messages. They even told me the best place to park near the marina.
Oh, and the rental from the replacement operator turned out to be less expensive than my original booking, so I got a partial refund, too.
Before I started, I was a little wary of booking through an agency instead of contacting individual rental operators directly. But I am so glad I went to TripShock.com. Their web site is a great place to find a lot of offers, and I can't say enough good things about their customer service.

Good boat, great customer service

The crew was really nice! Boat was perfect.

The crew was very cheerful, accommodating, and provided a fun atmosphere for all.

My family had a blast!

great time!!

We had a nice time on the tour. The staff and crew were nice. It was disappointing to receive notification of the canceled 9am tour when we showed up after paying. They were nice and gave us parking, but a telephone call before we arrived would have been nice. We had to find things to fill up a four hour space of time. Additionally, hearing a more inclusive music selection would have made it much more enjoyable. Music can create a happy place, but it everyone needs to hear something that's relatable. Maybe take some requests.

Victoria and Spencer were incredible hosts! They were knowledgeable about Crab Island and the ins and outs of having a good time. They were also incredible with the kids in our group. Spencer took a group of little to find shells and Victoria played catch with some of the older kids. We will definitely use them again when we go back!

From check in to docking, the trip was great! Super friendly, very accommodating, and so fun. Very happy we booked and will definitely use them again!

We had a lot of fun and a wonderful captain- Chandler. Great dolphin viewing. Highly recommend.

Captain Chandler was great! Love how he customized the trip to what we wanted! He took us to see sharks, dolphins and sea turtles, snorkeling at East Jetty, and Crab Island! He also expertly dodged storms while still checking off all the things we wanted to do. I’d highly recommend and we will be using him again next time we’re in Destin!

Fantastic!!

We loved this experience! It is perfect for people that are wanting to see dolphins/crab island without being put on a boat with people they don’t know! Our captain for the day was Hunter, he was very kind and knowledgeable about the area and found us some dolphins immediately! Highly recommended this for small Bachelorette groups, families, or really anyone looking to have a great time!   (Especially great if you have a family with teenagers/young adults!)
