What are people saying about Destin

Johnson_P, Aug 2026

Proabably the Best Tour Group in Destin

VERY SWEET AND ACCOMODATING STAFF!! There is a restroom on board + a ton of floats and paddle boards + balls to play with!! Daniel and Tanya were eager to help take pictures, and we even got to jump off the boat! It did rain on our tour but it wasn’t anything bad, and they supplemented that part of the tour with a high speed chase to find dolphins! Would book them again. Also Love that they are family owned, so I feel like my money is being given to good honest people.

Sunset Dolphin Cruise

Steffani_E, Jul 2026

This was an awesome...

This was an awesome experience. Daniel knew right where to take us to see some dolphins and we weren’t disappointed in the least. He also knew enough to watch the weather and made it back in time to beat the rainstorm. I would highly recommend this experience. Way fun!!

Top Shelf Tikis Crab Island Adventure 3 hr

Nikki_A, Jul 2026

A great excursion

It was a fun experience. My daughter and I love the captain. When we took off, he explained all the good restaurants what to expect and guide us there smoothly. We bought our own floating device however they had a lot of water toys for us to play with. It was my first time being on a paddleboard and it was fun.

3-hour Crab Island Boat Tour in Destin

Tiffany_M, Jul 2026

Family Fun in the Sun at Crab Island

Crab Island was a blast! Our captain and deck hand were full of great energy and made the whole experience unforgettable. They kept us safe, kept us laughing, and made sure we had everything we needed. 3‑hours was just right, and the boat was stocked with helpful amenities including a toilet, floats, lily pads, and cold bottled water. I’m not usually one to get into open water, but I felt so comfortable that I stayed in the water the entire time. Food and drink vendors were everywhere, and the captain could call them right over. We’ll book with this company again for our next Crab Island adventure.

Destin Crab Island Tour in Catamaran

Stevie_M, Jul 2026

First Time Crab Islanders

We left on schedule, we saw a couple dolphins on the way to crab island. The captain was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our time at crab island. We’d recommend bringing your own electric air pump if you have any floats. There’s a restroom on board and a couple floating pads that we were able to share with other passengers. The price was fair for the amount of time we spent out on the water. Overall, a great experience!

10 Passenger Pontoon Boat Rentals in Crab Island

Meredith_C, Jun 2026

Perfect day

We picked the perfect day to go out on the water.. went at high tide. The pontoon boat was clean and the person who set us up was very informative on everything. Only issue was, the radio didn’t work. It would have been nice to have some music while we were on the water. I would recommend this company though for sure, especially for the price. We went to crab island first and then rode and saw lots of dolphins.. then went to a sandbar and found some pretty shells and headed back. Hoping to come back again next summer or sooner.

Parasailing Experience in Destin

Parasailing with them was a true bucket list item, and they absolutely exceeded every expectation we had. The views were breathtaking, the ride was smooth, and the crew’s energy and professionalism made it even more memorable. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.

Serenity Sunset Cruise. Destin FL

Ryan_D, May 2026

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.

Jetski Waverunner Rental - Destin

T_S, Apr 2026

10/10 – Absolutely...

10/10 – Absolutely Phenomenal Experience! Our couples group came down from Nashville for a quick getaway, and this snorkeling and dolphin-watching adventure was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, everything was top-tier. The captain and crew were incredible—professional, welcoming, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, which was such an amazing experience in itself. The snorkeling portion was just as impressive—the instructors were very engaging, informative, and made it fun for everyone, regardless of experience level. They really created a whole vibe out on the water—music playing, a bubble machine going—it felt like a perfect mix of relaxation and fun. You could tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and it translated into an unforgettable experience for all of us. Overall, we had an amazing time and will absolutely be booking again the next time we’re in town. Sending all the love from Nashville, Tennessee!
