Great time! A must-do if in Destin.

Ryan was our boat captain. He was awesome! The weather was beautiful and we had so much fun. I almost cancelled due to it not being HOT but it was my husbands 60th so we went with it and had a great time. The water was cool at first but was fine in the sun!

Living on the Edge

Great way to see the coast and visit schools of dolphins in Destin. It was fabulous to see so many in one place. We went on a fast ride in the ocean before we turned and headed into the bay where we saw crab island. A great way to have fun in the sun while visiting Destin! Loved it!

Great family day on the water

We had a wonderful trip. The boat was clean and so comfortable. Plenty of space. All the water toys were supplied and perfect for an afternoon to relax on the water. Our captain was friendly and a perfect guide to show us around the area. Our first trip to Destin. Would highly recommend. We will definitely rebook when we are back in town.

Shellie_Z, Mar 2026

Definitely a repeat experience!

Captain Harry was awesome! It was a chilly evening, but we made the best of it. We got in the water and found a jellyfish. We scooped it up in our net and even touched the top of it. That was pretty cool. Captain Harry was very vigilant on our tour. There was a shark off of the distance and he had us come back to the boat safely. He said it is a rare occurrence, but it was pretty cool to see a shark in person that close, we are still talking at least a football field away from us. He took us around the harbor and we watched the sunset for the rest of the evening as the wind picked up and got a little bit more chilly I would definitely recommend this for any family. It’s a great experience even with little kids. You really can’t go wrong with this.

Dolphin & Sunset Cruises

Jacquette_H, Mar 2026

FUN!!! 10 out of 10

My family and I traveled from Mississippi to Destin last year and we decided to experience the Dolphin cruise. We enjoyed every minute of it, it was the first time for my family of 5. The captain and the other staff were very friendly and wanted us to see each dolphin. It was very fun, informative, and enjoyable. We enjoyed spring break 2025 so much that this year spring break 2026, we decided to do it again. Same cruise just at a different time. The sunset was beautiful. The staff even offered to take family photos as the sun went down. I would definitely recommend this to others. We rate it 100000/10!!!!

2 Hour Shell Island Jet Ski Dolphin Tour

Manoranjan_U, Feb 2026

10/10 experience

We had the BEST experience with AAA Jet Ski Rentals in Panama City Beach! From start to finish, everything was smooth, fun, and super professional. Micah was absolutely amazing. He was so friendly, chill, and extremely helpful the entire time. He made us feel comfortable right away, explained everything clearly, and made sure we were confident before heading out. What we really appreciated was how he let us explore and enjoy the ride while still being attentive and making sure we were safe. My wife and I had such an incredible time out on the water — it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. The jet ski ran perfectly, the views were beautiful, and the whole experience felt stress-free and exciting at the same time. Huge shoutout to Micah for making it extra special. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Panama City Beach!

We had the BEST day out...

We had the BEST day out on the water with Emerald Island Coastal thanks to Captain Cody! He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and made our trip to Crab Island a total blast. The pontoon boat was in perfect condition, and Cody made sure we were all set for a fun, safe, and relaxing day that made my birthday extra special! He even gave us some great local tips and kept the vibe fun the whole time. If you’re heading to Crab Island, do yourself a favor and book with Emerald Island Coastal—and definitely ask for Captain Cody!
