What are people saying about Destin

Crab Island Adventure

Mandy_G, Jul 2026

Sandy Bottom

Captain Roger and first mate Dom were awesome! The booking process was easy, the check-in was simple, the fun was plentiful! The boat ride out had fun music playing and we stopped a few times to watch the dolphins around the boat. The entire time at crab island was a blast, the boat had plenty of nets, balls, and floats! We blew up some tubes of our own to take with us, but we didn’t need them!! Roger and Dom even interacted in the water with us, they helped catch crabs, point out a jelly fish, and even catch a pufferfish. When we wanted food from the vendors they radioed them over for us! Our group of 12 highly recommended using Sandy Bottom Tours!!

Buccaneer Pirate Cruise in Destin

Alie_K, Jul 2026

A pirate’s life is for me (and my family)!

Such a fun experience for both kids and adults! Highly recommend this experience! I also suggest going earlier in the morning or in the evening to avoid insane heat - if you are doing this in summertime. We went mid-July at 12pm and it was HOT out there. The staff were all very friendly and great with kids of all ages. Would def do this again!

Amazingly fun time!

Bikini Bottom Tours was a great experience. They are a local run family business that definitely deserves the support. We had a blast the whole day. They also will help their guest steer clear of the hustlers that try to rip off tourist out at crab island. Anytime I'm in Destin they will be my go to for anything.

Great Time

This was a great trip. We left at 10:30 am. Please get their early to register and sign your waivers online. Our captain MIKE was knowledgeable and he put safety first. Go in the morning 10:30 am. That's the best time. Ice onboard. Take your own beverages and snacks. Book this vs. getting your own pontoon. You won't regret it.

Absolute 10/10 Experience—Trust the Reviews About the Morning Tide!

We booked a 3-hour Crab Island boat tour, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip! Our captain, Justin, and crew member, Katie, were phenomenal—incredibly helpful, attentive, and highly informative throughout the entire excursion. The boat was perfectly equipped with top-notch amenities, including life vests for both adults and children, great floats, paddleboards, and excellent snorkel gear. Pro-tip for anyone booking: timing is everything! We booked the 8:30 AM morning slot to align with high tide, and the sunny weather combined with the high tide meant the water was completely crystal clear—absolutely perfect for snorkeling. By 10:00 AM, as the tide turned, the murky bay water began to take over, which makes a massive difference in the overall look and experience. Overall, it was an amazing family experience, and we will absolutely be back again!

My boyfriend and I had a blast on this excursion. The Captain Morgan and his staff were great!!! They gave us floats to float on, and knew which cooler was ours and would hand us our drinks from the boat to us in the water. Music was great!! All the food you could buy on the water was amazing! Chic Fil A, sushi, pizza, wings… the list goes on and on! 10/10!! Book it!!

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!

Nice guys

We had a great experience with Destin Snorkel. The crew was super nice, friendly, and made the trip feel easy and enjoyable from start to finish. The snorkeling was fun, and the shelling spot was a really nice bonus with plenty to look around for. It was a relaxing and memorable way to spend time in Destin, especially if you want something simple, fun, and family friendly. Definitely recommend!

4 Hour Crab Island Adventure Tour in Destin

Emily_W, Jun 2026

Best time!

We didn’t know what to expect going to crab island and we were so delightfully surprised with what was out there!!! They have vendors in boats that sell souvenirs, drinks, floating devices, and food! If we wanted to request a boat instead of floating out there, they would request the boat to come to us! Great captains! Best time!

4 Hour Destin Harbor Crab Island Excursion

Morgan_H, Jun 2026

Fun trip to crab island

We had a really fun trip and would definitely go again. The crew was young but very knowledgeable, professional, and focused on keeping everyone safe. The confirmation email stated that children would be fitted for life jackets and would be required to wear company-issued jackets. However, when we arrived, only emergency life vests were available. I recommend bringing your own if your kids need one. The water was very shallow and my 6 year old was able to stand. We had a great time and I would go again.

4.5 Hour Sandestin to Crab Island Excursion Aboard Sol y Luna

Morgan_K, Jun 2026

The boat ride was 1 hour...

The boat ride was 1 hour each way. When we arrived to crab island, they got us off the boat quickly, offered floats and pool noodles, and would grab our drinks for us out of the coolers so we could enjoy the water as long as possible. The crew members were excellent and extremely helpful.
