Lots of fun!
4 Hour – Private Pontoon Excursion on August 7, 20265 adults3 children

Wwe truly enjoyed our experience and Ben was a great captain. Our group consisted of all ages, from 1 to 67 years old. We all had a blast. Ben made us feel safe and secure while driving the boat and was very friendly. Can’t wait to book next year when we return!

4 Hour – Private Pontoon Excursion on September 6, 20266 adults2 children

Crab Island isnt for everyone. the boar ride there and back was good. Captain Ben was great. maybe bring thibgs to do because the lily pad isnt enough to keep young kids entertained and food is expensive. Also i didnt read everything so i wasnt expecting the captains fee, but it was fine.

Water was gorgeous!!
4 Hour – Private Pontoon Excursion on June 29, 20264 adults2 children

Our Captian Aydin was great. It was our first time using this boating service. Communication was consistent upon arrival. He took us out to crab island on the outskirt as requested and set everything up quickly. My only complaint would be the snorkeling equipment was in poor condition even cheap, considering the cost of the trip. We did bring our own so still had a great time.
