Awesome trip Ron maintained great communication and Captain Kris was fun and more than excellent

Crab island 4 hr pontoon trip

From beginning to end, it was PERFECT! Booking with Captain Ron was a breeze. He is extremely thorough and the process was explained very well. Captain Ron did a great job choosing our Captain. Captain Jason had a sense of humor that kept us laughing all day. He was a perfect fit for our group of 5 ladies! Captain Jason took us to see dolphins, sharks and turtles. An experience we will never forget. Crab Island was so much fun. FIRST CLASS business. You MUST use them!

We had the best time! It feels like you’re on a jet ski and we got to see dolphins up close. We went at sunset and ai highly recommend going at this time, it was magical. Be prepared, the closer you sit to the back the more soaked you get. We were  laughing so hard! The spray in the back is a little intense but so fun!

Beyond fun!

Loved going to crab island, Captain Brad was amazing !!! Highly recommend this adventure with this company. You will NOT be disappointed!

Great time.

Pontoon rental

We had so much fun at Crab Island, thank you for letting us have a pontoon, to get us there and back. Thank you got allowing us an extra 1/2 hour.  The only drawback was that I didn't reqlize at time of booking that it was 45 minutes there and 45 minutes back.

We arrived 30 minutes ahead of schedule as requested, and the team got us out quickly onto our boat, which was clean and ready for our day!

Perfect Experience

I would come back and rent again. Everyone was nice, helpful and thorough, keeping me informed. Couple of things I would consider changing…Put the boat operation and safety video on your website, make it easy and available, unable to view it. Once the waiver and the link expires, you can’t go back in make changes or corrections. A staff member sent me the link after request, this saves us both time and money and could be avoided. The video is very helpful and should be readily available and viewed as many times as needed for a first time boat operator or especially an inexperienced boater. Also, I suggest putting the rental insurance options early on and BOLD print, not buried in the fine long winded print. Makes you feel blind sided when you get to the window to pay… people don’t like $$ surprises ($75-$500) A final thought is some of the wording about if staff has to come get the boat “for any reason” is not at all warm and fuzzy felling to the customer. Sometimes boats just break down and have issues out of the control of the customer. Hopefully this is not the case. If so, you should revisit this policy. 

Thanks!

Professional

I have used them several times and  have excellent customer service. Super helpful and always friendly. Would recommend a million times.

Great music and our staff was fantastic. They made sure we knew all the safety rules and were very personable. They pulled out the water toys, helped us call over the food vendors to our area.

We rented a double decker boat with double slides for 8 adults and 4 kids. The check in process can be a little stressful so be sure to arrive at least 30 before departure time. The boat was great and spacious. They got us on the water quickly and crab island was awesome. The entire group thought it was the highlight of the trip.

Bethany Tibbets

Our 8yo daughter had the best day of her life, in large part to Captain Chan. She had really built up snorkeling in her mind, and he delivered on the perfect spot—with nets. He is friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and seems like a cool human. It was a wonderful experience for our group of 3.

Magical day snorkeling with Capt Chan

The boat was clean, the music was great, and the vibes were perfect. He took care of everything so we could just relax and enjoy the water. Highly recommend – we’ll definitely be booking with him again!

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.
