We had a great experience with Captain Wendy. She was very knowledgeable and energetic. She took us to great spot at Crab island. She had plenty of water toys and even got some great pictures of us. We were able to get some food delivered to us right in the boat. After we were tired of swimming Captain Wendy took us on a wonderful tour of the Destin Bay. I would recommend this excursion to anyone.

Spring Break '26 Nemo 5

Brittany_T, Apr 2026
The best, first boat experience. Captain Kylie was the best. Very knowledgeable. Very patient with the kids. 10/10, recommend the NEMO with Kylie. Complementary ice/water on board; you can also bring your own. Boat VERY clean. NEMO is the newest in the fleet. Private charter offers time at Crab Island, touring the bay, dolphin sitings, or time on beachside( you choose your day). Float, swim, paddleboard, snorkle... you name it. Don't forget the floating restaurants and bars. Book w/ Kylie.

Pontoon boat cruise

Cynthia_G, Apr 2024
We got to see dolphins. Captain Rhett made it enjoyable even though winds were strong water was a little chilly.

Perfect Day

Kim_C, Apr 2024
We had a great day with Rhett as our Captain….actually more like a perfect day. Rhett has a great balance of being there for the things you need, making helpful suggestions to elevate the experience (fresh fruit from the fruit boat was awesome) while also stepping back and allowing everyone to manage their own fun. This company does everything the right way; they provide nice boats, they follow the USCG regulations, but maybe most importantly they hire the right peope.

Fun in the sun

Shawn_K, Feb 2024
The entire trip was a great memory. The dolphins were the highlight. Captain Jesse was great the entire trip. Will definitely be back.

Awesome Field Trip for 50+!!

Amy_G, Sep 2023
Great time with family and friends. Our captain Randi was great--not too intrusive of our time but certainly attentive when we needed him. Loved Crab-Island, and loved that Randi took us to another deep area to use the slide. So much fun! Even my 71 year old BIL went down the slide and enjoyed the water:). He has not swam for years!!! Great time had by all!

Old lady trip

Audrey_S, Mar 2023
Randy was great we were just wanting to troll around and enjoy the sights he gave is the grand tour. HE WAS THE THE PERFECT CAPTAIN FOR THIS ADVENTURE

Captain Jesse was awesome!

Paul_B, Mar 2023
Captain Jesse was very fun and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions via text prior to the trip. Everyone in our party tried the water equipment like the giant lily pad and paddle board. We also toured the bay after having fun at Crab Island.

Don't go on a windy day!

Colleen_S, Dec 2021
We went after a storm and waters were choppy, couldn't go into the gulf. Underwater viewing deck was not impressive, one side of the windows were covered in barnacles and other growth. Would not have been able to see the animals if there were any. In my opinion, passengers should most be able to feed the seagulls.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Hi Colleen, It looks like you may have written a review on the wrong company, our records show your booking with us was cancelled, we do not have an underwater viewing deck as we are a private pontoon charter. Would you mind double checking and updating the review for the correct company?

Beautiful house 🏡 😍

Rebeca_M, Jul 2025
