    Family friendly

    6 Hr – Crab Island (AM) • 6 adults

    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! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a family-friendly and memorable day on the water.

    Best local trip

    4 Hr – Crab Island (PM) • 5 adults

    Yes it’s a pontoon boat, but fast as you would want. Pick your itinerary and it happens. SUP, snorkeling, tubing it can all be your day. We may come back just to spend the day with captain John. We had a family of five from college students to 80+ grandparents. Best boat day ever. We snorkeled around holiday island and then went snorkeling on the flat grass in a remote area. Crab island could be included if that’s your thing. Highly recommend.

    Great Trip!

    4 Hr – Crab Island (AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    John was amazing! Would highly recommend having a captain over renting a boat yourself as John knows the water and can navigate crab island. In addition to crab island, we saw dolphins and got to snorkel. He provided a floating lily pad, snorkel equipment, stand up paddle board and floats. He is also willing to help with carrying your gear if needed. Cannot say enough good things about our trip!!

    Awesome!

    4 Hr – Destin Adventure (PM) • 5 adults

    Captain John was a great guy who worked hard to make our trip perfect. He communicated to us prior to the trip to make sure we were going to see and do all the things we wanted at the best time of day. We saw dolphins, went shelling, hung out at crab island and cruised in the bay. It was a great experience!
