Premium Non-Private 3 Hour Crab Island Tour with Bathroom

Jennifer_T, Apr 2026

Spencer and Izzy were...

Spencer and Izzy were fantastic! The music was great. Spencer and Izzy were engaged with the guests, throwing football or calling vendors over If you needed anything off of the boat, they woukd get it for you. If you are traveling with a large group, then you may want to bring your own float. We had more than enough for the amount of people on our tour.

Dolphin Cruise in Destin FL

Fran_R, Apr 2026

Great fun & Dolphins!!!

High speed boat that seats 29! The first half is a fast ride - definitely fun & yes- you will get wet! The 2nd half was a slower ride with multiple dolphin sightings. The boat operator knew the behaviors of the dolphins & how to follow their track. Fun, informative- an hour ride around the bay. Highly recommend!

3 Hour Crab Island Tour from Destin Non-Private with Floats

Stevens_L, Apr 2026

Had a great time! Everything was just perfect.

The reviews are not wrong. This company knows what they’re doing, they hire great people, are organized, lovely and it was just an overall really fun experience. We saw lots of dolphins, we brought lunch for ourselves and drinks and got to chill on the boat and hang out on the sandbar and listen to just really good music. I also loved that our boat had a restroom! That was awesome! I know that some of the boats don’t so that would be something. I would make sure if it is important to you to check out when you book. We went during the week and the weather was a little cooler than normal so it wasn’t crazy busy, but it was still a great time. Everyone was nice from the time we checked in to the time we got back to the dock. I will definitely do this again the next time I am in Destin ♥️ 🐬 Hopefully sooner rather than later. Such a nice place to visit!

Sunset Dolphin Cruise

Tyle_A, Apr 2026

Dolphins and sunset lover

Great experience! Captain Daniel was professional, fun and skillful behind the wheel. Tanya was also excellent keeping the trip fun. The most highlight was seeing so many dolphins around the boat. I have never seen so many dolphins in my life. The sunset view was phenomenal. We took lots of sunset views. Would strongly recommend Bikini Bottom tour to friends and family.

Private Crab Island Double Slides Pontoon Charter

Ashley_G, Apr 2026

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!

Sandestin Sunset Eco-Dolphin Cruise Aboard Sol y Luna

DAVE_V, Apr 2026

Nice Ride / Pretty Sunset / Definitely Dolphins!

Sol y Luna is a fairly large sized pontoon boat with upper & lower decks; Capacity is about 100 but seating not available for 100; Has a couple tiny lavatories in case you gotta go during the approx 100 minute ride; Very clean vessel that seems new (or recently renovated); 3 crew members (super-pleasant; helpful); No refreshments available on-board from the tour company (bring you own water/snacks); Family-friendly for sure; Be aware that when the breeze hits you as and after the sun sets, it gets chilly so bring a sweatshirt/jacket; During the initial cruise out into the bay, not seeing any dolphins reminded me of a Hawaii visit where I saw no turtles during sea turtle season, and an Iceland visit where I saw no northern lights on any of the 7 nights I was there, but alas, tally-ho!, after our boat got way out into the bay before sunset, we saw plenty of sightings of bottlenose dolphins break the water’s surface on this Apil-01-2026 tour. Including two “baby” dolphins! The boat captain was quite skilled & knowledgeable about maneuvering as close as the dolphins would allow. Note that the bay water floor is dark even in the very shallow areas, so you cannot see anything swimming below the surface (all looks fairly black/dark), only the dorsal fin, and when the dolphin body pops out for their typical curl dive. Difficult to get pics of the dolphin action, but easy to get great pics of the sunset and the moon. Very smooth/calm ride, with a great music playlist on a decent boat-equipped sound system. Tipping is expected, as is for most tour services. All-in-all, this was a worthwhile boat ride / sighting tour.

Crab Island Boat Tour – Half Day in Destin

Emma_T, Sep 2025

The best time!! BOOK!

We had the absolute best time! We had so much fun on the first trip out that we booked the afternoon trip out as well. Me and my boyfriend have told so many people about this experience! The caption and workers were soooo fun and nice, dancing, singing, and many pics! You can bring your cooler, snacks, floats, whatever! We will definitely be going again!

Destin: Private Crab Island Excursion with Lounge Floats

Destanie_F, Jul 2025

Fun July Day

Great Experience. Our captain was willing to not only take us to Crab Island but also gave us the option to split our time sightseeing. Very considerate, kind, and laid back. The boat was spacious and came with everything as described. Beautiful day. We experienced a morning season, which was still hot in mid-July; we would recommend the morning over the afternoon. Tons of jellyfish, crabs, and fish to see. This was a highlight of our visit. The time flew by, and tons of food, drink, and snack vendors were on the water with plenty of options. Will very likely rebook on our next visit.
