100% will be doing this again. Captain Cole was so great with our young kids. He was able to get us close to a pod of dolphins, found a hermit crab for them to hold, and found them sea shells. The floats were also a huge hit and the boat was very well maintained. Best part of our trip so far!

Sean was great with kids! Made sure we saw dolphins and even got in the freezing water with them! Can't wait to go back

We had a great time! Our family of six really enjoyed our day with Cole as our Captain. It was great to have the floats and paddle boards on the water, and the slide was fun too. We will book again the next time we are in Destin!

Super fun experience! The company did so well in equipping us with everything we needed including jellyfish ointment for my jellyfish sting. Our captain Casey was so sweet and very welcoming, 10/10 experience!

Very great experience, had a ball of fun and couldn’t ask for a better caption. Looking forward to book again

Very nice. The experience was great. Our 10 year old granddaughter loved it. Jessie was a good tour guide.

This is a must! You get so much for the one single booking. We saw SO many dolphins, went paddle boarding, floated on the island and ended the trip with a boat ride looking at houses. I would highly recommend adding this to your itinerary!

Nice boat and equipment. Enjoyed crab island and there was plenty for the kids to do to entertain themselves.

Captain Wendy was great! She was great with our kids and even took pictures so we would have memories. The party scene of crab island is not really our vibe but she made it enjoyable.

Took a 4 hour boat tour of Crab Island and the surrounding area. Captain Casey was phenomenal! She took us around to look for some wildlife first. We got to see a few dolphins, a giant stingray, jellyfish and various other local wildlife.
Next stop was Crab Island, just to say we were there. After a quick cool off, Captain Casey suggested going to a less congested area close by, as we were traveling with kids. She then drove us to a nearby spot that was absolutely perfect!
This spot was very chill and we all had a great time enjoying the floats, paddle boards, and snorkel gear. While I probably wasn’t supposed to see this, Captain Casey was seen spreading some seashells she had near the boat, which our kids later found.
She went the extra mile to ensure they’d find something cool and make them smile. This was not asked or requested, just something done on her own and it was very appreciated. After hanging out for two hours and chatting us up, Captain Casey took us to another spot to use the water slide. While there, Captain Casey captured some great family photos for us.
With some time left, the day of cruising ended with sight-seeing in the harbor. We enjoyed learning about the local restaurants, as well as taking in the homes and yachts around the area. We highly recommend this company, especially if you can land Captain Casey!
Even after the boat ride, Captain Casey checked in with us and sent us a great list of local recommendations. We were very fortunate to have had her for the day. She definitely cared about who was on her boat and went out of her way to make sure we had a special day.
PS - Very safety oriented. A few jet skis were getting a little out of hand close to us at one point and she was on it without anyone saying a peep about it

Such a great experience! Captain Jesse was Awesome! He got in the water with us, played catch at crab island with us! He was very knowledgeable. Everything was smooth and each stop was well thought out! Couldn’t have asked for a better trip!

The captain and his knowledge of the area. He was so patient with us and was eager to make sure we had a great time. Definitely will book again. He made it seem as if we had been friends forever. Very easy person to talk to.

Kacey was amazing! Great personality,We will be back and request her again! Booking with the Viator app was a breeze

Captain Jesse was fun, informative and engaging! We (family of four with an 18 and 19 year old) had a wonderful four hour trip tailored to our needs. Our boat was equipped with everything we could have wanted from paddle boards to frisbees to snorkels. I can’t say enough about how pleasurable and friendly Jesse was and the staff at the dock/check in. I highly recommend!
Candace_W, Jul 2023
This was the first time we have ever visited Crab Island and the first time we have ever rented a pontoon to cruise on the ocean. We had the best time and now this will be a must every time we come to the beach! Crab Island was beautiful! The guide (Hunter) was so knowledgeable of the area! He showed us different restaurants to visit and marine life in the water and he was very fun and polite. The boat was a newer boat. The boat had several water toys/floats. The whole family LOVED the experience and the guide!
Bobby_S, Jun 2023
We had a GREAT time with Captain Casey! She made it a point to look for dolphins and turtles for our girls. I recommend Captain Casey!

Great tour operator & a fun way to experience Destin Harbor and Crab Island. Jesse was our guide & helped make the day more fun for our family of four. Their boat had so many "toys" to make our Crab Island time more fun.
The tour operator was great to work with, I highly recommend them!
