Family owned, spacious catamaran with all the floats and rafts and amenities you need for Crab Island. The Captain Daniel and 1st Mate Abel are a ton of fun and so customer service focused. They make your time on board a party with the best play list, fetch anything you need from your coolers so you don't have to get in and out of the water. If you do need to get in and out, they are always offering a hand. Our tour to 🦀 Crab Island 🏝 took a side detour that featured several pods of dolphins... DeAnna at their office checked on is to assure we we coming as we are always a few min late and that we knew where to park. Daniel and his mom DeAnna put everything they have into starting this business 3 years ago...and their passion shows by the way they treat every guest with respect.

Family owned business. They are great to work with. We have an amazing time to Crab Island. Lots of laughs and music. This is our 2nd time with them. Will always use them for this tour.

Family friendly fun Captain Daniel and Able are the best in the business. Lots of laughs good music on board and great knowledge of crab island. This is our second time using Bikkini Bottom and we wouldn’t book anyone else in future. Lots of floating rafts and toys to have fun with at crab island. The new shop in Destin is easy to find and boat dock is an easy walk.

Great Customer service 🔥
Its plenty companies to choose from but TRUST this the company to book with. They won't charge you for equipment that's already on board. They play all types of music and the captain has dance moves. They will call over any food venue for you. Bikini Bottom are the only crab island company I'll book with. They are a vibe ✨️🔥

Oh my gosh thank you so much! Love this!

What an amazing time on the Bikini Bottom Boat with Daniel and Abel! From the moment we stepped on board, they went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. The energy, the vibes, the laughs—it was nonstop fun from start to finish.
Daniel and Abel didn’t just captain the boat—they set the tone for a day full of great music, perfect stops, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like you’re cruising with friends. They were super attentive, made sure everyone was safe while still having a blast, and just kept the good times rolling.
If you’re looking for a boat day that’s more than just a ride—this is it. 10/10 recommend the Bikini Bottom Boat with these two legends. Can’t wait to go again!

Kim_T, Jul 2025
We had the BEST time! The accommodations were excellent; the boat was beautiful, the best playlist out there, and the crew was second to NONE!!! They will even open your beer!😉. On our way back they took the time to turn around and let us have a dolphin experience even when they offer that as a separate excursion. It was everything we wished for and more!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
This is awesome! Thank you Kim!
KELLEY_L, Jul 2025
Daniel and Able were so much fun and they are very attentive to their passengers! The 9:00 am time slot was perfect. Seemed to have a good choice of where to anchor. Great way to stay cool!!!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you Kelley!

The Justin and Abel were super funny , friendly and ready to the get the party started even at 9am. They made sure everyone felt safe and had a good time. Once we anchored at Crab Island, the real fun began—floating in the water, swimming, lounging, and soaking up the sun. There were floats, paddleboards, you name it .
It was the perfect mix of chill and adventure—great for couples, families, or anyone just wanting to unwind and enjoy the water. If you’re visiting the area, this is an absolute must-do. Already planning to book again on our next trip!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much April! We can't wait to host you all again soon!

Gene_D, Aug 2024
This excursion was great, the Captain and first mate were very friendly and accommodating. Although there are vendors on Crab Island I would suggest bringing your own drinks and food. We were with a small group and it was very enjoyable. We did get to see a couple of dolphins near the Gulf of Mexico . Overall my fiancé and I had a wonderful experience and we would definitely recommend this excursion company.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you!!!!!great review!!!! We appreciate you!!!!
Stephen_M, Aug 2024
My husband, our four year old, and I had a great time. The boat ride was short and sweet. The crew was so friendly. The captain explained everything thoroughly
It was such an easy and laid-back experience. Once we got to the island they had several water toys like paddle boards, balls, floats which is very thoughtful. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. 100% would recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you so much Stephen!!!!! Love this!!!!
Tara_E, Aug 2024
It was fun and the captain and deck hand were super friendly. I would say the trip was more for adults than younger kids though. But we did go in the afternoon, so that may have affected the family friendliness of it. But the bachelorette party that was on the same cruise looked like they had a great time!
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Tara! Thank you for this review! Usually it’s always family friendly no matter what time but I did hear about those girls and they definitely lived it up. Let’s have a do over next time you’re in town, and make it perfect for you and the fam!
Dawn_A, Aug 2024
Loved the music, positive attitude and helpfulness during the whole excursion! I can't wait to return with my husband and we will definitely book with Bikkini Bottom.

The caption and Kavin are awesome. So friendly, they were like a family member in the entire trip. If you ask anything they deliver. Great memorable time. Thank you Captain and Kavin!
Definitely recommend anyone to choose Bikkini Bottom Boat (BBB or B3 💖) by Beach Please Charters.

Unfortunately, a very bad experience. Before the excursion, I had to visit a doctor and was two minutes late (2:02 pm) and it turned out that the ship had already departed without calling me and asking whether I would be there or not. I called them at 2:11 pm because I did not immediately find the phone number and instead of finding a way out of the situation, they told me that they could not help, hung up and ignored my calls. I was ready to pay extra to be picked up or for them to make arrangements with someone and bring us to them. Unfortunately, we did not get to them and they did not return a cent to us.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
As per your reservation requirements., you are required to arrive 30 min prior to the boats departure. It is illegal for someone to bring you to us if you do not leave the dock on our vessel, and we do not pick anyone up anywhere other than our designated dock. We do not offer refunds for missing the boat. Thank you for the kind words you had for me on the phone that day. Your calls were no longer accepted after you proceeded with fowl language after the policies were explained.
Delvin_R, Jul 2024
Captain and first mate are top notch guys friendly interactive made experience fun and enjoyable. Good knowledge or island and love that it’s family owned and caters toward good clean family fun. All the toys needed for good time when you stop at island
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you so much Delvin!!!
Leslie_M, Jul 2024
Our guides were amazing!! My friend and my kiddo and i had the best time! So, They took us away from where the jelly fish were. They had floats and everything for us to use as well.
We had music the entire time, so no worries if you forgot your speakers! Their boat had a bathroom for them kids who always gotta go! Lol
The took us around crab island to get the full experience and went looking for the dolphins! We got to see one! My daughter was bummed about not being exactly at crab island but she had a blast (shes a sour patch)
We enjoyed being on the paddle board and watching our guides interact with literally all of is on the boat! It was such a great time! We will be coming back no doubt!
They were super informative! And very social and made us feel apart of everything! The way they interact with the kids and joined in on the games! Great people!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Leslie thank you so much for this amazing review!!!!!
Michele_A, Jul 2024
The captain and first mate were brothers, and they were very friendly, polite and helpful, as well as entertaining! Going so far as to play with some of the younger kids on the lily pad lounger and assisting adults as well as kids with the paddle boards. This was a very fun and relaxing experience!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you so much for this great review!!!!
