great triip!
2 Hour – Crab Island Dolphin Tour on July 23, 20264 adults2 children

great experience. We visited Destin area during Tropical Storm Bettha. Needless to say, rhere were disruptions woth plans all week. This was not one of them. we received a text message the might before asking of we could move back our trip from 10:00 am to noon so theu ckuld accomadate other customers whose trip was disrupted the previous day. we had flexobity amd it was no issue. the comminocation back amd forth was great. We were told we would have Captain Dustin as our fuide and he was outstanding. We were able tomspot dolphins amd stingrays before heading to a more secluded beach so the kids could swim away from the chaos of crab island. Just a perfect 2 hour trip.

Fantastic Time!
2 Hour – Crab Island Dolphin Tour on April 7, 20268 adults

We had 3 adults and 5 kids and wanted to get out on the water, see dolphins, and visit crab island. We booked the evening before and they reached out and confirmed right after. They gave us detailed directions to the boat with parking instructions and a map. We got there the next morning for our 10am and got out on the water. We saw a ton of dolphins and spent time in the water at Crab Island. The kids had ice cream at Crab Island. We had time left and Captain Mike gave us several other options. We decided on a tour of homes in the channel. It was a great time for all of us! The boat was spotless and the cushioned seats were very comfortable. Captain Mike shared great information about sea life and the Destin area. He was a great captain and we had a great time visiting with him. I am so happy we found them! I would highly recommend booking with them!

Unforgettable Trip!
2 Hour – Crab Island Dolphin Tour on March 25, 20263 adults4 children

Our family absolutely loved our boat tour! We saw many dolphins, a stingray, many birds, and a favorite for us was the private island to hop off and walk the beautiful beach looking for shells. We did the 8-10 am time slot and it was perfect, low traffic, easy parking. Our captain, Mike, was amazing and he made the whole experience for our kids so memorable and taught us a lot about the area. I truly wouldn't change a thing, we made such good family memories. I'm a mom of 4, ages 9 to 9 mo, and it was perfect for us.

Great family outing
2 Hour – Crab Island Dolphin Tour on July 14, 20264 adults2 children

We were looking for a calm family boat outing and they met the mark. We got to see a few dolphins swimming around. We went to a beach and caught hermit crabs with the net the captain had onboard. We road around on the water for awhile. We got to see jellyfish from a safe distance. We went by crab idland but opted not to get out. The captain was easy going and followed our lead for the vibe of the outing. He also made some recommendations for food and family fun while we are in the area.

Response from Captain

Wade that is so wonderful that you took the time to leave us a great five-star review we certainly appreciate it and we certainly appreciate your patronage. We hope to meet and exceed everyone's expectations. Thank you again and we hope to see you in the very near future.

Stellar day on the water!
2 Hour – Crab Island Dolphin Tour on October 25, 20254 adults

5 stars for Captain Brian! Dolphins, sharks, birds, fish, crabs, sun, sand & a drink in my hand! From private beaches to party sandbars, fun was had by all!! They are very knowledgeable of the area to give us a superior experience compared to other boat companies we have used on other trips. I enjoyed seeing all the boats & homes on the water. Wayne was also very helpful! Both were very accommodating to the custom experience we wanted. We recommend a 4 - 6 hour trip. You won't regret it!
