Captain Brandon was awesome! Hr was very friendly and helpful. He was knowledgeable with things to do in the area
Very relaxing, me and my fiance really enjoyed ourselves. Captain was very nice. When we got in the boat, he took our drinks and put them on ice for us. It wasn’t hot because of the tiki shade.
We had a great experience. Our captain was very polite. He was very attentive to our safety and needs. Would definitely do this again.
mike was great very attentive, informative and all around nice guy. had so much fun. he showed us a great time.

It's a very relaxing scenic cruise. Our Captain gave us plenty of history of Destin. His name is Danny who made it such a great time.
Great experience! Can do your own thing, bring
your own food and drinks. Chill vibes, great scenery !
Brandon S was our captain and he was amazing!! He provided floats for us and made the experience so much fun!!
You gotta request Captain Danny Davis!!! He was absolutely the best. Very personable and accommodating. You couldn’t ask for a better Captain to take you through the Harbor and Crab Island. His knowledge and hospitality is unmatched. Ryan and Heidi will definitely be back to cruise with him again. He made our trip!!!! Thank you so much Danny.
Trip itself was great. We debated between a big boat or the tiki, but the tikis were perfect. Our Captain (Josh) was great as well.
Our only knock on the trip was the check-in experience. The girl at the desk could have definatly been a lot friendlier and helpful than she was. For a cruise that is "all about having fun", that should start when you check in.
Although our boat wasn’t at full capacity, Captain Wil took my two teenage girls and I out! Along the way, he gave helpful tips about Crab Island and other things to do and places to eat. The girls loved the floating lily pad, tubes, and volleyball that he provided. Great one-of-a-kind experience!
this was canceled and you guys never gave me my money back. I have tried to contact all of your customer service representatives and no one will get back with me.
It's a Must do! The best Captain hands down is Mike! He is a whole vibe and he will ensure you are safe!
Captain Eddie was amazing he made sure our trip was fun and safe! The water was perfect and I would definitely do this again!
Traveled solo but had a great experience getting paired with a great group. Great time visiting new people and playing various games in the water. Ticket indicated that I couldn't bring my own alcohol, but that wasnt actually the case, it fact it was encouraged. Due to stormy weather, the company had to cancel my first trip after we had already gone to the island, but comped me for the following day. I was very pleased with that.
Really good time. Capt Brandon G. Was great and very helpful. We went out on the 9am tour and it was a blast.
Second time going. Always a good time; love the tikis and Captain Eddy was great and made it a wonderful trip.
Highly recommend.
So much fun! Our captain, Danny, was great and really made the experience so much fun! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The weather was not great, but we still went out and had a good time relaxing in the water. Saw tons of dolphins!
Excursion was canceled by company because Viator app supposedly didn’t give them the information needed to book our tour. I had tickets and was checked in at desk but had not been assigned to a boat. They told me I could go the next day but wasn’t able. Was told I would get all my money back but that hasn’t happened yet.
Great time Eddy was amazing. So happy we had him to show us the sites. Definitely will do recommend this adventure. Especially with Eddy.
The captain was so knowledgeable and personable. He was very accommodating and made sure we had an excellent time on the water.
The captain was very nice and informative. The other 4 ppl that was on there with us was so pleasant and enjoyed there company
It was such an amazing time and experience! on time, shore level play, & the captain was amazing 10/10
It is money well spent , Mike was our captain and he did a wonderful job, he helped my wife forget about his fear of ocean, spot he picked was extremely easy to walk around , every move we maid, he was there to help, he gave us an amazing amount of information regarding the waters around there , dos and donts sound the waters of the bay, I will go back again and will ask for him .
Great experience with captain adams
Very knowledgeable helpful kind . He took the time to get to know us.
Such a wonderful team! Houston was amazing! My girls and I loved it! They have floats for you and can wave down any vendors you want
Absolutely amazing experience! Morti was our guide he was great! Truly enjoyed! Will re-book for sure!
It was my second excursion on a tiki boat. The first being in Gulf Shores with the same company. They were both such a great time and I will go again next time I have the chance! The only complaint I have really about this last trip was that because it was just my adult daughter and I we were cruising with others who were super nice and fun but our captain let them have total control over the music we listened to for 3 hours. I did ask several times to at least let us play what we were in the mood for awhile but I was totally ignored. I paid just as much as everyone else did to enjoy all the services they offered including making à play list of music. I mean at least give us 15 minutes of music every hour. That would have been great. I will definitely be back but music to me is a huge part of setting the mood for certain experiences and I'll make sure I won't be listening to Captain and Tenille on the next tiki boat 😊
Had a great time, thank you Houston.. would recommend 1000 times over. Water was great, weather was awesome. Dolphins were an added bonus.
By far one of the most enjoyable things ive ever done while on any vacation. Me and my husband definitely had a blast and our captain was awesome
