We had an amazing time our Captain was Joey and was very professional and helpful. Took us to crab island and the spot was beautiful. We would definitely come again and hopefully see Captain Joey again.

Jayden was great! Always willing to get you a refill and get a good song going. Highly recommend for all parties, families, or just wanting to relax.
Samuel_M, Mar 2026
Highly recommend. We had Jayden as our captain and he was amazing. We had such a good time. Would do this again ten times over.

We had the best time!! Little rainy in the beginning but it didn’t damper the experience what so ever.

Boat was really fun! Kids had a blast on the slides and Lilly Pad! Crab island was definitely an experience!
Erica_L, Sep 2025
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!

That the fee that was charged for the boat does not include a mandatory captain's fee, and the amount was not disclosed until the day of the event.

Aedan was our captain and he took such good care of us! He definitely made our time at crab island an easy and fun experience. Our pontoon selection lived up to expectations and so did the experience!
KAYLA_M, Sep 2025
Aedan was the best captain and made sure our family had everything we needed to have a great time. I couldn’t recommend this company enough! We had 2 teens, 4 adults and 3 babies under 3 and we all had the greatest time. Thank you again!

Aeden was a great captain. Book with him and no one else! The boat was fun with slides and paddleboards.

Awesome time with my friends ready for the next trip back to Crab Island. I would recommend Crab Island for all vacation fun and best eatery spots.

We had such a fun time on our private Crab Island double-slide pontoon charter with Captain Aedan! The slides were a blast, even for our all-adult group, lol. We also loved having the paddle boats and the floating lily pad to enjoy, and our group made good use of them all! It was so nice getting to choose our own music and really make the day our own. Captain Aedan was very laid back and friendly, and he checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed. He even offered to help out with drink refills, which was nice! Overall, it was such an easy, fun, and relaxing trip, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

The water was clear and perfect. The spot Jayden picked was a good spot for us. We had 10 in our party so it was perfect for us.
Shelly_C, Aug 2025
Thank you to Joey, our captian! We had a blast on the 4 hour boat with two slides and paddle boards and lily pad. The kids played for hours and hours in the beautiful weather and we even saw some dolphins on the way in to Crab Island! This is one of the must-dos in Destin!
Cindy_G, Jul 2025
I would recommend early morning if you want to see the blue/clear water. The experience was worth it tho. We had a great time and our captain was amazing.

Joey was an excellent Captain. He took us in a great spot on Crab Island. Both my family and I agree we had the best time ever deciding to go with the private boat. The slides were a welcomed bonus. So fun!

This was an amazing experience! Our captain's name was Jayden and he did a fabulous job! Highly recommend asking for him on your booking!

Our trip to Crab Island was amazing! Captain Easton made the experience even better—he was professional, friendly, and thorough. He went over all the safety rules before departure and made sure we had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing day. The boat was awesome, with two slides and super comfortable seating. Highly recommend!

Aedan was a fantastic captain and kept it fun even with the pouring rain and storms. Had a blast and would recommend to others.
Aileen_R, Jun 2025
I wanted to express my disappointment regarding the cancellation due to weather. According to our weather map, the storm had passed within about 30 minutes and there was no further rain for the rest of the day. When I followed up by phone—after noticing the improved conditions and clear skies—I was still told the weather was not favorable, which was frustrating and confusing.
This activity was a primary reason for our visit, and since we were leaving the next day, we unfortunately missed out. I completely understand that safety is a priority and that weather can be unpredictable, but given how quickly it cleared up and stayed sunny, the decision not to resume felt unnecessary and disappointing.
I hope you’ll take this feedback into consideration moving forward.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
We operate rain or shine but in this situation there was a large afternoon thunderstorm with lighting for the first 45 minutes of the trip. This customer and the captain agreed that cancelling was the best option and we fully refunded them.
We always try to re-schedule but doing the trip the same day after it had already been canceled is usually not an option. It was already too late in the afternoon, you guys had left the marina, and the captains had been called off. The forecast also called for serious storms all afternoon. Trying to hold us accountable for unpredictable weather is unfair when we did the right thing by looking out for you and your groups safety.

We are on a bachelorette trip and rented a boat with a captain. We got Aedan as our captain and let me just say he was great!!! We will 100% request Aedan when we come back. He was so nice and such a big help. He came up and introduced himself and offered to grab anything we needed help with. We had such a fun time and will definitely be back. 10/10 recommend Aedan as your boat captain!!!
