Amazing time! Great crew, great music, great people! Bring plenty of drinks. There are places to get food and small boats that drive around offering souvenirs, shirts, hats. Anything you can think of! My best friend and I had a blast!

I was running behind and they waited patiently for my husband. They are very kind and easy going. I went with my husband and three kids ages 15,4,3. If you’re thinking of booking just go ahead and do it with these guys.

We had so much! Our captain was very informative and they were so nice and helpful. Great music taste!

Crab Island is where it's at.

This was everything it had all different types of food the best part was being able to bring your own drinks and snacks. Its best you bring your own drinks snacks etc. just being able to walk around crab Island without worrying about anything was everything for me. lol It was very nice

Crab Island

Tequila_C, Aug 2026
We had an amazing time on our Crab Island excursion! The entire experience was so much fun, and it was the perfect activity for our group. The water was beautiful, the atmosphere was great, and we had plenty of time to relax, enjoy ourselves, and make memories. The staff was friendly and helpful, and everything was well organized from check-in to the end of the trip. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Destin, especially if you’re traveling with family or a group of friends. We had a blast and would absolutely do it again!

ALLISON_B, Aug 2026
We enjoyed crab island and we were thankful for the transportation however the captain and first mate were not attentive at all to the people. They drove us there and dropped us off and stayed on their phone listening to music. They were not very attentive to the guest. Other charters were very attentive and entertaining.

Relaxing and a great time! Amazing captains!

Stacy_M, Aug 2026
Relaxing what I came for! I’m a people watcher they don’t disappoint! Captains were amazing! People we traveled with were ready for a great time! I will do it again!

Everything was good, spend most of the time tanning and swimming. The weather was perfect for that day! The captain and his “right hand” was really cool. We had such a good time.

Great trip other than charging to use paddleboard

Noor_E, Aug 2026
Nice trip but they charge to use paddle board so keep that in mind. Other charters don't charge last I remember. They may have changed recently

Family fun at crab island.

Albert_G, Aug 2026
Great time and the captain was a cool dude! We didn’t know what to expect going over there since this was our first time in Florida but it was a lot of fun. It is a big party spot but everyone keeps to themselves for the most part. We had a great time.

The captain and his team were awesome, courteous and patient with all of us on board. You really don’t need the water shoes unless you don’t like stepping on soft sand and parts with sea weed.

Book it

Robert_M, Jul 2026
Great time! Bring your own cooler and enjoy the water!! Plenty of food for purchase when you get to crab island.

Not impressed!

Renee_J, Jul 2026
The guys were cool, but they weren't open to music requests from Melanated passengers. The restroom on board was disgusting. The ladder needs upgrading before someone slips and gets seriously hurt. I'll book with someone else next time for sure!

Lora_R, Jul 2026
We loved this tour! The island was a great time, beautiful water and fun people to interact with! Traveling tip: look up when the tide is low, the low tide makes the water crystal clear and absolutely beautiful! When the tide comes in the water turns the color of the rest of the ocean and gets a little choppy with the current!! ❤️ that happened about the last hr we were there but I wouldn’t change the experience for it! We had a great time. Oh and BYOB!!!

SO MUCH FUN! Captains made it that much better!

Great experience, allow time for travel to the Harbor, parking and walking to dock to check in. If you want an all day experience book 2 back to back excursions out. Look at times for high tide to get the prettiest water.

Great experience!

Lauren_S, Jul 2026
Great experience, super nice & friendly staff. Short boat ride for a day of fun in the sun, they also had lots of floats & mat available to relax on.

Amazong experience!!! Dawson and Patrick were seriously the best Captains!! We had so much fun and we can't wait to visit again to do Crab Island again! It rained a little and honestly it made it so much more fun LOL

Fun Time

Take your credit card for fun crab island food! Make sure you use sunscreen because there is no shade.

BYOB and food and have fun!

Jessica_Z, Jun 2026
You can bring your towels, ice chest with drinks, even Alcohol- they don’t sell any alcohol/beer out on the water or the boat so BYOB! You can even bring food. It’s fun, relaxed and a great experience. The trip to crab island is extremely quick. 10 minutes tops and they drive slow. Once they “park”, you’re able to get off and hang out. The captains are nice.

Fun trip to crab island

Morgan_H, Jun 2026
We had a really fun trip and would definitely go again. The crew was young but very knowledgeable, professional, and focused on keeping everyone safe. The confirmation email stated that children would be fitted for life jackets and would be required to wear company-issued jackets. However, when we arrived, only emergency life vests were available. I recommend bringing your own if your kids need one. The water was very shallow and my 6 year old was able to stand. We had a great time and I would go again.
