    Captains were great and friendly. I live local and it’s always a great time when we get real Destin people with great attitudes.

    Crab/Jellyfish island

    Gail_R, Aug 2026
    The tour was really nice. Ryan and Josh were amazing. Along the way they sought out and found a group of dolphins for us to take pictures of. When we arrived at crab island we were taken aback by the amount of jellyfish sightings. The water is crystal clear so you can easily avoid them. As the day went on they seem to disappear. I wasn’t impressed with the food options but crab island had a great vibe and is a perfect place for relaxing and soaking up the sun. I would definitely recommend this tour but suggest you bring your own food and drinks because they overcharge for everything.

    Definitely recommend!

    It was awesome! Our captain and his mate made it even better. Crab island is a must if you are going to Destin!

    First Time Crab Islanders

    Stevie_M, Jul 2026
    We left on schedule, we saw a couple dolphins on the way to crab island. The captain was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our time at crab island. We’d recommend bringing your own electric air pump if you have any floats. There’s a restroom on board and a couple floating pads that we were able to share with other passengers. The price was fair for the amount of time we spent out on the water. Overall, a great experience!

    Josh and Ryan, the captain and hosts, were great. They visited with the people on the boat and made sure they were having a good thine and had everything they needed. Both guys had great personalities and enjoyed their jobs.

    Fantastic Crab Island boat tour! The crew was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience fun and stress-free. Beautiful water, great atmosphere, and plenty of time to enjoy Crab Island. Highly recommend and would definitely do it again!

    Great tour

    Brianna_S, Jun 2026
    My partner and I had a fantastic time on this Crab Island tour! The captain and deckhands were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the entire trip. They went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. We were also lucky enough to see lots of dolphins during the tour, which was definitely one of the highlights of the experience! They had drinks available for purchase onboard, which was very convenient, and they provided floaties for guests to use at no extra charge. They also had footballs and other fun items available, which made spending time at Crab Island even more enjoyable. Everything was well organized, the atmosphere was fun and relaxing, and the crew truly made the experience memorable. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great day on the water!

    So much fun

    The weather didn’t hold up but it wasn’t the company’s fault! We made the best of it. Everything was on time, we enjoyed the ride and we saw a family of dolphins. We still had a good experience.

    Show up early ,parking is weird but it works . Very smooth operation. Guides were very personable. Would go again.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you for going with us. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your trip. Our parking lot can be a mess each trip when it’s busy will fill it up to the max. Come back and see us again for your next crab island tour.

    Crab Island is not an Island

    Deborah_P, Oct 2025
    You will spend the day in the water. The boat has floats. They sell water and pop while parked. There are food boats nearby.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you for going on our Crab Island adventure. Crab Island is a very unique submerged sand bar. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your time going to it and hope to have you on it again.

    We had the best time! Our favorite part was on the way back there was a dolphin that jumped up out of the water and did a flip. Crab island was fun also.
