My husband and I travel...
My husband and I travel to Destin every year and this was by far one of our most favorite experiences we have done! It was so fun, yet super relaxing, and Captain Mike made the trip even more special! He was very nice, social, and very hospitable! He was one our favorite parts of this excursion (and the tiki boat was adorable!). We highly recommend this excursion whether you new to traveling to the area or been here a few times and just looking for something new to do! And we will definitely be asking for Captain Mike next time!

Amazing Atmosphere, Service, and DOLPHINS
This experience completely exceeded my expectations! I booked this sunset cruise over the others available as the boat accommodate only 6 people. My wife and I appreciated the intimate nature of the cruise. Dena was knowledgeable, kind, and accomadating.
We had a great tour of the harbor where Dena provided interesting facts about the history of Destin. The cruise ended on Crab Island to watch an amazing sunset. Everything from the music that Dena played to the conversation to the timeliness of the tour was 10/10. We did this tour for my Wife's 40th birthday and Dena had a great final touch by playing Happy Birthday for my wife as we pulled into the dock slip. I cannot say enough great things and am so grateful for the experiences / memories that we had on this experience.
Oh yea - on the way back from the sunset on Crab Island, we saw Dolphins!!! Recommend fully for your next trip.

Day at Crab Island
We chartered a pontoon boat for a 4-hour excursion to Crab Island in Destin, Florida, and had an amazing experience! The staff was incredible—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely great people who made the trip even more enjoyable.
It’s definitely a family-friendly cruise, so you’ll see a lot of families onboard, but it’s still perfect for singles and couples looking to have a good time. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun day on the water with a fantastic crew!

Relaxing afternoon on the water
This trip was as fun for mom and dad as it was for our teenagers. Our Captain was fun, helpful and knowledgeable. The boat had everything we needed to have a relaxing afternoon on the water. The other boats in the area offered plenty of people watching and entertainment. The vendor boats had plenty of food options.

Awesome Experience!
The Dolphin Cruise was terrific! The captain was awesome- he knew the places to see the dolphins and also provided a nice overview of the history of Destin as well as good places to eat along the waterfront. The 2 young women who were the crew were also great. They took photos of us with the sunset and were very helpful.

Hermit crab national champ
The crew was amazing and very accommodating to everyone. There were lots of jellyfish so they took us to see dolphins first and we came back to snorkel after the jellyfish had cleared out.
We saw at least 40 dolphins and the captain positioned the boat so everyone had a chance to take pictures.
We would definitely recommend this excursion.

Fabulous
It was great.We saw lots of dolphins that swam directly by the boat.We also saw huge turtles.Very nice captain and co captain. Took time to take photos of each group, if they wanted. Snorkeling was fun. Saw hermit crabs,crabs,fish, and found some shells.

Highly Recommend!
EXCELLENT family experience. We only got about 20 minutes into our first ride because of the weather so they let us rebook for the next day at no cost. The owner/host/captain are fun, conversational and knowledgeable. We saw tons of dolphins. And, even if we hadn’t seen dolphins, the fast boat ride was a ton of fun. We considered going a third time during the week 🙂 Highly recommended by our family!
