First time to crab island and it was one of the best experiences EVER. The captain and his crew were wonderful. The boat was clean and we felt safe. We will definitely be back.

Capt Gary and Jack were amazing! Fun for kids and families! Would recommend for anyone! Floats are provided!
Got cancelled with no notice. Got email to do waivers, but by the time we go to the counter, where they were going into detail rules and regulations for individual pontoon rentals, all they said was that it was cancelled. No prior notice.
Excellent time, awesome captain!! A definite must!!! Would most definitely book again! A-1 time, thank you!

Thanks so much for the feedback, Kerri!
We hope to see you again on your next visit to the Emerald Coast!
I was disappointed with this excursion as I have experienced better ones in the past. My intention was to enjoy a visit to Crab Island, but the experience was marred by an unprofessional captain. The crew made inappropriate remarks about other guests who arrived a few minutes late getting back on board, yet it was acceptable that we were delayed in departing for Crab Island. While I understand their frustration, professionalism should be maintained at all times. Additionally, there was insufficient time allocated for the visit, and guests were expected to be on board 45 minutes in advance. Overall, I do not believe this excursion was worth it.

Captain was very experienced and very knowledgeable about the boat and crab island the boat was clean
It was horrible. The waternwas full of seaweed and smelled like a sewer. No restrooms nowhere to eat nothing to do. Overpriced food. They let people smoke in the water but not on the boats. So pee poop cigarette butter seaweed algae and all are in this water plus nowhere to throw trash. I will never ever recommend this waste if money. Looks NOTHING like the pics.
So fun and relaxing. Cool way to meet other travelers. The workers were extremely nice and inviting! They made it an enjoyable experience
Easy to find the marina. Clean boat. Family friendly/party friendly. Best of both worlds.
Captain Gary and first mate Bailey were funny, informative, and gave great hospitality to the guest.
We got stuck with a little bad weather, but they still made it fun. They took us on a little sightseeing trip before our time was up. They definitely went the extra mile. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip.
First time to crab island and it was one of the best experiences EVER. The captain and his crew were wonderful. The boat was clean and we felt safe. We will definitely be back.
Tyler and Bailey were awesome. Very informative and friendly. They seem to really care that everyone is having a good time. Highly recommend.
Great water excursion for all ages! Captain Mike and his crew are terrific. They provide ice cold bottle water complimentary and the music is upbeat as you soak up the sun and gorgeous Emerald Bay of Destin and enjoy Crab Island. This company is dog friendly-make sure your dog is a swimmer with a left vest
Location hard to find, company/store name is Beach Weekend.

Captain & crew were very nice, informative, and interacted with all passengers. Definitely will use their service again.
Being on the water, best to attend crab island in the am or before 12pm we went at 3.30 and the water looked terrible! But the ride was amazing!
Good bday trip learned about some good beaches in the area! Plan to come back and book again! Dax and TJ were pretty awesome!
Dad and Bailey made our ecperurhcr awesome! We were a huge group of 17 and they took care of us! Very friendly crew, abd the excellent ration was fun for the whole family!
Definitely enjoyed our family outing had one of the best captain in Destin. It was about 20 of us and we will be back and booking with Mike again.
This was a great experience. My family loved the trip to Crab Island. I would definitely recommend to a friend.
Daxx and Bailey delivered my family, group of 12, an amazing experience to Crab Island. If you get a. Chance to request a captain and helper those are the two that you want! They are very prompt, efficient, friendly, and considerate to individuals aged across the lifespan.
I cannot upload photos we took but this was an amazing experience ! The water was so clear and had so much fun ! This was like tailgating on the water. Make sure to go right after high tide to get the clearest water !
Had a great time definitely booking again when I come back. Everything was great weather was a little shaky but still turned out to be a great time.
Capt. Mike, Tj and Genesis were awesome. Will most definitely take this tour again and again. Couldn't have asked for a better crew.
Spending time with my husband on crab island was amazing. We will be back! We just hope this time the water is much prettier!
The staff was very nice and friendly it was not our lucky day because the weather didn't help, and dolphins was playing hide and seek
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Sorry to hear the dolphins did not want to come out and play. We sure wish we could make every day a perfect day, but we are glad to hear that our staff was welcoming.
Everybody was so sweet and accommodating! We meet some awesome people and even saw some Dolphins in the evening 🥹
Response from Host, Aug 2023
