Sunset Dolphin Cruise

Janie_E, Jun 2026

Great Vibes!

This is a family owned business and they are amazing. Great vibes and playlist on the boat. Extremely friendly and caring. Bought merch and they didn’t have a size in a design we wanted so they made it for us during the boat ride and had it ready after. 💯 worth the great experience.

Crab Island Dolphin & Sunset Cruise – 3-Hour Tour

Fabulous TIKI cruise with Capt Mike and Ariel.

Captain Mike and Ariel were fantastic and made the trip a good time for everybody. Even recognizing that a particular guest might ruin the day for everyone and ejecting them before it became a problem. According to my wife, that experience made the trip worth while as she got in her "Reality TV" for the day with that single event. LOL. We even found a little hermit crab on crab island and a beautiful sunset as promised!!! Too bad the dolphins were hiding.

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.

Amazing Crab Island Excursion

This was easily one of the best water excursions we’ve ever done—and we’ve cruised the Caribbean several times! Hard to believe we didn’t even have to leave the country for this experience. Captain Daniel and Jesse were awesome and made the trip so much fun. Loved the water toys, the onboard bathroom, and especially the playlist—definitely made for millennial parents like us. We’d 100% do this again!

We had an amazing time for our first time Personal. We had a boat full of people and half of them went before us so we got to see what it looked like. Not only was it our first time, but we also had our six-year-old daughter with us and the captains, and the staff made everything very comfortable for us.

We had an absolutely outstanding time on the tiki boat at Crab Island! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The boat itself was clean, comfortable, and had such a fun vibe—perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying the water. Captains Al and Randy made sure everyone felt safe while still having an amazing time. A game-changer was having a bathroom on board—such a huge convenience that made the day even more enjoyable and stress-free. This tiki boat experience is 100% worth it. We’ll definitely be back!

Just Boook It!!!!

We had an absolutely incredible time at Crab Island, and a huge part of that was thanks to Captain Diego! From start to finish, he made sure everything was perfect. He was professional and had a great energy that kept the vibes high all day. He really went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a blast. If you’re heading out to Crab Island, do yourself a favor and ask for Diego. We couldn't have asked for a better captain to lead our day on the water!

The two gentlemen were so friendly and helpful. They created a great atmosphere with music and conversation. People pleasing by putting newbies at ease to calm nerves. At the end of the adventure, they gave great recommendations of local food places. I would definitely recommend and would love the experience again! Thank you to Caleb and his partner!

Definitely a nice time!

Owen and Wesley were great! At first they introduced themselves (super friendly) and we were off to crab island along the way we stopped a few times to see some dolphins. It was a beautiful day out and when we made it to crab island it was packed but the guys found a spot easily and we spent a few hours out there on some floats enjoying the water, music and vendors. Would definitely recommend!
