Had an amazing time visiting crab island with emerald island charters!
The boat was nice and clean, it came with a large Lilly pad, and two paddle boards.
Our captain Easton was great, he was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating checking in on us often during our time at crab island making sure we were doing okay and seeing if we needed anything.
I highly recommend this company for a great charter experience.

Our caption, Noah, was extremely kind and made our experience 10/10. He made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. The boat was clean, safe, and made our experience so fun. They had paddle boards and foam pad for us to enjoy & even thought of a speaker on the boat. We had such a good time we wanted to go again the next day! Thank you Noah for an unforgettable experience for our first time in Destin.

We had the best captain ever EASTON was very fun! He had so much knowledge just about any questions we had! He even waited on us due to traffic and we stayed way in Santa Rosa and had to get to the docking for take off we really appreciate that! Make sure you tip the captains it’s much needed! I promise when booking ask for Easton!

Nice boat . You do have to pay for parking unless you park further away. The captain was friendly and the water toys and paddle board was nice.

Our captain Lambert was great and answered all of our crab island questions. He had a lily pad and 2 paddle boards for everyone to ride on. Bluetooth speaker was provided. We had to bring our own cooler and supply our ice. Only thing I would change is the waiver needing to be filled out in the smacking sun, maybe the waiver emailed to the person who booked the boat ahead of time or fill out once we’re loaded on. Otherwise everything was great.

Our captain, Easton, was very fun and knowledgeable. Our group had a blast visiting Crab Island! We got to swim, float, and even had a hot dog boat stop by. It was such a fun trip!

It was super fun, our captain Lambert was very polite and did a great job. The water was clear and the snorkeling was really fun. The boats that sell snacks were a little pricey but that’s to be expected. Great experience.

Tanner was the absolute best. We would 100% book with him again!! We had the BEST day at Crab Island thanks to our awesome captain! He made the whole trip so easy and fun-from cruising us out there safely to making sure we had everything we needed to just relax and enjoy. The ride was smooth, the vibes were great, and he really went out of his way to make sure we had the perfect day on the water.
If you're headed to Crab Island, you definitely want him as your captain. 10/10 recommend.

Tate was our captain and he was nothing short of amazing. He knows a lot about the area and when we were done at Crab Island took us on a trip around the area where the kids got to see dolphins!

Our captain Tyler was the best very helpful and polite definitely requesting him for our next vacation!
Anne_C, Jul 2025
There were 8 of us, 5 adults and 3 minors. Our captain, Kyle, was phenomenal. From the moment we arrived until the time we returned he was professional, attentive, and just the friendliest personality. The boat ride to the island was fun, but the time in the island was even better. I would highly recommend using this company to book your day at Crab Island. We will definitely use them again.

Everything was great and our whole family had a good time. The boat was clean and the captain really took care of us.
Hailee_S, Jul 2025
Amazing experience with an awesome guide, named Sebastian. My family comes here every year for the 4th of July week for vacation & this is one of those things we’ll book in advance to ensure a spot and mostly importantly with Sebastian! We booked a 4 hour half day & the moment we got there & off the boat the regret set for not booking a 8 hour day! Super kid friendly as well! Our girls are almost 4 and 6… they both about cried getting off the boat because they wanted “keep hanging out with Sebastian on the boat and in the water”!
