The Perfect Family Day!
Captain John was absolutely amazing! He met us right in front of the restaurant on the dock, making it incredibly easy to find him. On the ride to and from Crab Island, he shared fun facts about Destin and even made sure we had the chance to see dolphins, which was such a special bonus!
We booked the 3-hour trip, and it was the perfect amount of time for our family, especially with an infant. We never felt rushed, but it was just the right length for everyone to enjoy themselves.
He found the perfect spot to anchor the boat, making us feel comfortable and safe the entire time. We were traveling with young children, and after watching videos and reading reviews beforehand, I wasn’t sure if Crab Island would be family-friendly. Thanks to Captain John’s experience and choice of location, we had an incredible, stress-free day.
Captain John went above and beyond to make the trip special for our kids. He kept an eye out for crabs so they could catch some, and that ended up being one of their favorite parts of the day. Seeing how excited they were made the experience even more memorable.
He provided floating devices, snorkeling gear, and everything listed in the description. We brought our own ice chest, but he also had one available for guests who needed it. He even let us know he could call the food boats over to us, so we didn’t have to swim or walk to grab lunch or snacks.
One of the things we appreciated most was that Captain John took photos for us throughout the trip. It allowed us to be fully present and enjoy our time together while still leaving with wonderful family memories to look back on.
This was easily one of the highlights of our Destin vacation. We’ll definitely be booking with Captain John every time we visit, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and family-friendly day at Crab Island!

Great family fun!
Our family enjoyed this trip very much! Captain Mark gave us a very smooth boat ride, and Oliver was a very knowledgeable and helpful guide. I appreciated that he kept his commentary family friendly as there were lots of kids on our trip. Great experience for beginning snorkelers!

Best boat ride ever
The experience from booking to getting on the boat was easy. We had to park at the hotel by the bridge. Would definitely recommend parking closer. We had quite a bit of walking to get there. The lady called to see if we were was coming or needed any help getting there. Very pleasant and so fun to be around the entire staff. Will definitely be going back out the next time we visit.

honestly such a good...
honestly such a good company. We booked in April when I had originally planned to book for June and the company was so accommodating and easily switched the dates for us. We ended up taking one of our kids to the Dr and they let us reschedule AGAIN. Absolutely amazing of them cause most company’s will not let you do it once let alone twice.
But it was so fun and the snorkeling was great. Saw lots of wild life and we even caught a puffer fish and got to hold it. Very family friendly. We did see some dolphins but they were further away from the boat.

Perfect family outing
Great family outing! We took our 3 and 10 year old and both had a blast. The boat ride was relaxing and just long enough between snorkeling and shell hunting. We saw dolphins and caught hermit crabs for the hermit crab race which was a huge hit. You can bring your own snacks and drinks. They provide the snorkeling masks and life jackets if needed. Great crew and great fun! Boat has plenty of shade too!

Great private platoon rental! And captain!!
The weather been gloomy and rainy all week we been here and our original reservation was cancelled but they were great at calling and getting us rescheduled during our time here. I was so glad we still made it out and it was great experience- just wish for better weather.

Great time but arrive early and complete all waivers and licenses in advance!
Great experience. I would caution everyone to make sure waivers and licenses are completed prior to arrival or this may delay your start time. It can get crowded so getting in and out is important. The staff were pretty friendly. We had no issues with the boat and had a great time at Crab Island.

Our experience was...
Our experience was amazing! Dale was a super down to earth tour guide who knew everything about the area. He immediately found a pod of about 10 dolphins. They got so close to us that we can almost touch them. A truly incredible experience. I would definitely recommend coming here if you are in town!

Kind of bummed we only...
Kind of bummed we only saw two dolphins the whole trip but we did see some and we got to see sea turtles. Captain dalton took us to shell island we got to snorkel for a while for sand dollars and other creatures. He helped us find tons of sand dollars to take home. He was super informative and was so nice. Provided us with waters sunblock and offered to help us with our bags if we needed to store them. Would recommend

Best Trip Ever
We booked this experience for a Bachelorette trip and I cannot say enough about how wonderful this was. I would very highly recommend this experience. This was the highlight of our trip to Destin! Captain Randy was the absolute best! He was professional and took our safety seriously but was also so much fun and really took care of us. We loved that he enjoyed the experience with us. Not only did he play games, sing karaoke, and eat lunch with us, but he also went out of his way to buy us boiled peanuts and always made sure we had a drink in our hand. The experience was truly above and beyond our initial expectations. If you are looking to have the perfect day in Destin, make sure Captain Randy is on your itinerary!

Captain Mike makes this an awesome experience
Captain Mike took us on a fabulous sunset cruise. Highlighting local eating establishments different houses. And history about the bay and crab Island. He stayed and showed us beautiful sunset Paws for dolphins and made it very convenient for us to take multiple pictures.

Highly recommend!
This was a well organized tour, with a knowledgeable guide. He did a great job navigating to where we could see dolphins, pointing them out, and engaging us with them. We had a great time, and I think this is a great value for the money. I highly recommend!
