Card island bliss

This was an amazing experience! Captain Morgan and his crew were spectacular and made sure everyone was relaxed and had a great time. So much fun - food delivered to you in the ocean and anything you can imagine from burgers to sushi. This crew knows how to do it right - the whole family loved every second!

Best fun ever

Emerald Island charter was great. Our Captain Corbin had the best energy. He was a whole lot of fun. Very nice and respectful. Check in was a breeze. Corbin helped everyone aboard the pontoon, he also brought out belongings aboard as well. This company definitely is a 10 out of 10 and I do recommend them.

Family time!

We had the perfect day on our 3 hour private tour!! It was our family’s first time on crab island. We spent two hours on crab island lounging and playing in the water. The final hour, my daughters wanted to ride around and look at beautiful houses and spot wild life. The perfect day!!! Captain Dan was the best!! He was very nice. The boat was clean and relaxing! We felt safe the entire time! And we can’t forget about his million dollar smile! The Smiths will be back! Thank you!

Beautiful Day at Crab Island

The only hiccup we had was the parking situation. After all of that was done, everything went smoothly. Our Captain was Ethan and he was Great!!! He contacted me like 30mins before our to let us know where to come meet him. He was very knowledgeable and took his time driving the boat, he also made sure he was cautious while driving.

Crab Island is a must do!

Great day at Crab Island with Spencer and Izzy! They made sure all the guests were taken care of, were happy to take many photos for the guests, and their energy is unparalleled. We had a very lovely time, it is a must! Very family friendly, they even made sure the little kids got a front row seat to the dolphins we encountered!

Destiny Water Crab Island Pontoon Rental

Great experience from start to finish. Efficient operation. Both Ethan and the young lady (Yankees fan) were professional, courteous and informative. Reviewed all safety and protocols prior to taking boat out. They were right there upon return. This is the 2nd year we've used and will continue anytime we go back to the Emerald Coast.

Laid back Crab Island Trip

This is a big pontoon-style boat, partially shaded, with a restroom. It has long benches down each side and some benches in the middle too. It brings a bunch of people out to the sandbar for four hours. They provided a shark and tube floaties, some noodles, and a lilly pad. They played music. They parked near a bbq restaurant boat. Justin and Patrick did a great job. It was a chill, laid back experience. You bring your own food/drinks and they have a cooler and garbages. The only downside is that the boat isn't ideal for lounging. However, you could bring floating lounge chairs and enjoy it that way, if you had them. It was cooler and windy when we went. The kids took awhile to get in the water but then had a lot of fun! My husband and I mostly enjoyed chilling in partial shade, listening to music and not having to entertain our kids. We'd do it again.

Dolphin & Sunset Cruises

Leisa_J, Mar 2026

Awesome Experience!

The Dolphin Cruise was terrific! The captain was awesome- he knew the places to see the dolphins and also provided a nice overview of the history of Destin as well as good places to eat along the waterfront. The 2 young women who were the crew were also great. They took photos of us with the sunset and were very helpful.

We had so much fun on...

We had so much fun on this excursion! We were on a bachelorette party of eight people and we had the best time. Our captain Jayden was fantastic. The instructions were super clear on what to bring, where to park, etc. and the communication was great. I would absolutely recommend this experience!

I didn't know what all to expect but heard from many folks in Fort Walton Beach that this adventure wasn't one to miss, this adventure is a blast, its a party for sure, music, byob, swimming, clear emerald waters.. ITS A GREAT TIME!!, on the way back, the group I was with, which I didn't know anyone, half the pontoon boat was partied it up, dancing, music, we had other boats rockin out and even construction workers that are building a bridge going over the bay. I absolutely recommend this adventure..
