6 Hr – Crab Island (AM) on August 16, 2025 • 6 adults
We had the absolute best experience yesterday for my birthday thanks to Captain John! From the moment we stepped on board, he was so kind, welcoming, and made sure we felt comfortable the entire day. He took us out into the Gulf where we got to see dolphins and even some sharks, which was such a cool and unforgettable experience. After that, he brought us to Crab Island where we spent the rest of the day relaxing and enjoying the water.
John went above and beyond to make the whole trip fun, safe, and memorable. You can tell he truly cares about his guests having a great time. Thank you so much, John, for making my birthday one I’ll never forget! If you’re looking for a boat captain in Destin, I can’t recommend him enough.

4 Hr – Crab Island (PM) on July 26, 2025 • 6 adults
We had an amazing day on the water thanks to Captain John! From the moment we arrived, he was incredibly hospitable and made sure every need we had was taken care of. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and even gave us some great dinner recommendations.
He let us play our own music, which really added to the fun, and anchored us in the perfect spot at Crab Island to relax and enjoy the day. When we were ready for something new, he took us to a great snorkeling spot where we got to see all kinds of marine life.
It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. Highly recommend booking with John, you won’t be disappointed!

We had such an amazing experience! Captain John was so kind, accommodating, and clearly an expert on the water. The boat was spotless, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. It was perfect for our group-fun, safe, and relaxing from start to finish. John’s knowledge of the area made the trip even better, and we saw plenty of dolphins without needing a separate tour!
