Had a great time on John’s boat. Would definitely go again and recommend to anyone who’s looking for an enjoyable laid back boat ride.
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Captain John from J Katt Boat Tour in Destin! From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed for a fun, safe, and relaxing day on the water. Captain John was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the Destin area. He navigated us to Crab Island with ease and made sure we had the best spot to enjoy the crystal-clear water. He was attentive throughout the trip, always checking to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time while allowing us to relax and enjoy the experience at our own pace. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making the entire trip even more enjoyable. It’s obvious that Captain John truly cares about providing his guests with an exceptional experience, and his passion for what he does shines through. Our day at Crab Island was one of the highlights of our Florida vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better captain. If you’re looking for a stress-free, memorable day on the water in Destin, I highly recommend booking with Captain John and J Katt Boat Tour. We will definitely be booking with him again the next time we’re in Destin! Thank you, Captain John, for an incredible day and memories we’ll never forget!
This wasn't a fishing trip, but a head over to Crab Island excursion. Our Capt./Guide was more than either of those, was like hanging out with a Friend that just happened to know alot of info about the history of the area since he was born & raised in the Destin area. It's DEFINITELY a plus when you get more than just a boat driver. Boat was spotless & John "Austin" was more than accommodating. First time I've done this & couldn't have gotten a better Host! Will for sure do it again & recommend his services to any family & friends heading this way. Thanks John!!
Our family had an amazing time on the water with Captain John! He took us to some really cool snorkel spots and provided us with all the gear we needed. He even doubled as the camera man to get some good shots of us together in the water. We got to see dolphins, a really cute sea turtle, blue crabs, lots of fish and wildlife. We even found our best shells ever while snorkeling. Captain John was super knowledgeable and even got in the water to show us around and help us find cool critters. 10 out of 10 stars. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing time on our boat ride to Crab Island! Captain John was friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience fun. We enjoyed snorkeling with the provided equipment, floating tubes, and paddle boards. Captain John also shared interesting history about Destin and the area along the way. A fun and memorable experience—highly recommend!
Our trip was great. Captain John gave us a nice tour of the bay and we saw dolphins up close. He was on time, sent out messages regarding our trip and list of supplies we would need/want. He provided a lot as well. We got a great spot on crab island, floated around for a few hours in great weather. He gave us a football, floating platform, and water. Oh! And make sure to follow him on all social media including tik tok! We will be back next year and certainly choosing captain John.
