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.

We had a group of 8 from 2-52 and everyone had the best time! We were lucky enough to have booked when the water was clear! All the vendors were great! The best part of our trip was our Captain Diego! He was the best! Made sure the kids had a great time!

Had a great time. So worth having your own boat with slides. Kids had a great time. The extras they provided were great. Diego was an amazing captain.

Diego was an amazing captain. We had a great time and will definitely do it again. The slides were great for the kids.

Deigo was an excellent boat captain and we all had a great time. Thank you for a great first time experience for our family trip!

This is our second year with Emerald Island charter and it was amazing as expected. Diego was an excellent captain and the whole family had a blast. From the boat ride to the slides to the SUP and Lily pads everything was perfect! Can’t wait to come back next year!

We had a great experience even though the weather didn’t cooperate. Our captain, Sean was great! Would 100% recommend and book again.
Vernon_J, Jun 2026
We had a great time but unfortunately due to inclement weather our trip had to be cut short.
Diego was a great captain and made sure our granddaughters had a good time.
Fabiana_J, Jun 2026
We did this on a bachelorette trip & had an amazing time! Sean was a great captain. We would definitely do it again!
Malika_W, Jun 2026
Great experience I didn’t like that it takes 30 min to get there and 30 min to get back which takes up an hour of your time actually being on the island. It felt like as soon as we got to the island and really started to have fun it was time to go. It was my birthday and I was not satisfied with the timeline.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hey there appreciate you guys! You will not find a 10 person double slide pontoon with a captain closer than we are due to zoning/local ordinances. We do our best to get you out there as quickly as possible but your arrival time, group size, and weather conditions can affect how long it takes to get out there. You can always book the morning and afternoon time slots for a full day on Crab Island!

Was an overcast day so water wasn’t as blue as we hoped but still clear and a great time! Kyle was our captain and did a great job from start to finish. Highly recommend the experience!
Maria_C, Jun 2026
Experience was amazing! Employees, captain, etc were all so helpful, kind, and attentive to our family! It was our first time and we had a newborn so we were nervous but he made the experience perfect! Thank you again!

Very fun experience have done crab island tours before and the boat and experience was great, there is. 150$ captain fee that was not explained upfront so before you book plan to add an additional 150$

Great experience. Crab island was a lot of fun. Captain Corbin was the best! Will definitely be back.
Ashley_G, Apr 2026
We had an absolutely incredible time at Crab Island, and a huge part of that was thanks to Captain Diego! From start to finish, he made sure everything was perfect. He was professional and had a great energy that kept the vibes high all day. He really went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a blast.
If you’re heading out to Crab Island, do yourself a favor and ask for Diego. We couldn't have asked for a better captain to lead our day on the water!
Marc_E, Apr 2026
Corbin was the BEST captain! He was so enjoyable and professional at the same time. Totally recommend booking with them! Everything went so smooth and perfect! 100% recommend!

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!
