Our Shell Island Dolphin Tour is Panama City Beach’s only partially guided jet ski tour. After check-in and a quick safety briefing, you’ll head out for a fast-paced ride across the emerald waters of St. Andrews Bay. Weather permitting, we’ll enter the Gulf in search of dolphins and other wildlife like sea turtles, rays, and more. Next, we’ll stop on the bay side of Shell Island for a short break. Then, enjoy free ride time to explore—whether cruising, swimming, or relaxing on the beach. With about 15 minutes remaining, the group regathers and follows the guide back across the bay. Drivers must be 18 or older with a valid driver’s license to operate a jet ski.

12 passenger Crab Island pontoon boat rental

Edward_M, Apr 2026

Best boat rental place in Destin!

We had an amazing time! They were very informative and explained everything we needed to know. We rented the boat for 8 hours and it was more than enough, the 4 hour tour was 250 but for 100 dollars more we could take it for 4 hours more! Definitely worth every penny!

Captain Casey was the BEST!

We had the BEST time with Captain Casey today! He was very fun to spend the afternoon with. It was a little cold out on Crab Island so he took us on an amazing house boat tour to show us some of the coolest houses in the Harbors. My three teenagers (18, 17 & 14) even loved it and told me to make sure we give him a 5-Star Review! He absolutely made the last day of our vacation a memorable one and we are grateful! Thank you Casey! We will definitely be looking you up again when we come back! 🥰

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!

Great Family Fun!

Captain Morgan and the deckhands were awesome. It’s BYOB and food which is nice, but on Crab Island they sell food (slightly overpriced) but NO alcohol. Capt. Morgan played great music pop hits, and the vibe was great. About an hour 15 to get to crab island, and the same back, but make sure to bring towels and maybe a sweatshirt as it can be slightly chilly on the way back! Floaty toys were also amazing and the paddle board! Seriously a great excursion!

Awesome Tour Experience

We had an amazing time on our Crab Island boat tour! Delaney and Delta were incredibly sweet, welcoming, and made the entire experience feel so fun and relaxing. They went above and beyond by providing fun water toys and activities for everyone to enjoy. What truly stood out was how much care they showed my 9-year-old. They made sure he had the best time, and it turned into an experience he will never forget. That meant everything to me as a parent. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly, and memorable time at Crab Island, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you again, Delaney and Delta, for such a special day!

This tour is a champ!

We had such an amazing time! Captain Henry was incredibly friendly, which made the experience even better. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time at Crab Island—providing paddle boards, speakers, water, and even a waterproof phone case. You can tell the tour company truly thinks ahead about what their guests need. The boat was great—very clean and well-organized. I would definitely book with Captain Henry again. Totally worth it!

Destin Harbor Sunset Eco Dolphin Cruise

Better than expected!

Didn’t know what to expect as it was our first sunset dolphin cruise. Dawson and his deck hand (Patrick I think ) were awesome. Despite having a bit of a Debbie downer crowd of about 45 people they were hilarious, got on the dolphins right away and gave us a great tour of the area. I highly recommend sitting up front if possible for the best views. The sunset was incredible and they took pictures for everyone that wanted one. Highly recommend!

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!!!!

Crab Island

Tanner was the absolute best. We would 100% book with him again!! We had the BEST day at Crab Island thanks to our awesome captain! He made the whole trip so easy and fun-from cruising us out there safely to making sure we had everything we needed to just relax and enjoy. The ride was smooth, the vibes were great, and he really went out of his way to make sure we had the perfect day on the water. If you're headed to Crab Island, you definitely want him as your captain. 10/10 recommend.

things_to_do

Famous for its white sand beaches along Florida’s dazzling Emerald Coast, Destin is best explored from the water. Ride waves with dolphins on a jet ski, see their fins from above on a parasailing adventure, or follow their pods on a banana boat ride with friends. Snorkeling in Choctawhatchee Bay is a great way to spot colorful fish and turtles, while an excursion to Crab Island—a submerged sandbar favored by boaters—is perhaps the most iconic experience in Destin. Hang out on a boozy tiki cruise or enjoy the marine life from a kayak or paddleboard—Destin tours span all ages and activity preferences.
