The boat ride out to crab island and the time there were fun, but the most fun part of the trip was having Spencer and Cole! From the moment we got on the pontoon they were an absolute blast. So friendly and willing to help with anything! They make the trip!!!

Cole and Spencer the real MVPs

We had a great time with Spencer and his first mate. So sorry I can’t remember the name. We are yearly Destin visitors and Crab Island is a trip  we love to include

Texas Tourist

I was worried bringing my 5 month along for the ride but everyone especially Izzy were so sweet to us even recommended things and places to eat at. Definitely had a blast out there!

Great trip with a baby

Great experience from the captain and first mate

Passenger

This was a great time. Family really enjoyed it. The guys running the boat were funny and amazingly helpful. Def will hit up again on our next trip!

Awesome time!!

Stephen & Axle were awesome boat captains. There were lots of activities for us to do once we got to crab island and they both got right in to join the fun. We had our 3yr old with us and she loved it!
They knew a lot about the area and gave us plenty of local food recommendations that weren’t totally full of tourists. Would book again!

Great experience & family friendly!

We choose the 8:30 trip to crab island. We had a party of 13, 5 being kids ages 2-9 years.   We questioned bringing ours kids but it was the most fun we had all week.  Spencer and Caleb were our captains and they were very accommodating and so much fun.  We brought rafts but did not need them. The paddle boards and Lilly pads  that were provided were enough.  Our kids loved the  boats selling ice cream and fresh pineapples. I highly recommend this trip and would do it again in a heart beat!  I would choose the early trip, the longer we were there, the busier it was.

Highly recommend, even with kids!

Great crew and family friendly experience.  Only recommendation is to properly plan for the time at Crab Island.  There isn't any actual crabs. LoL :)

Family Friendly

Thoroughly enjoyed Crab Island and dolphin   Cruise   Spencer and Axle were amazing. They were so fun and accommodating to our group. They were so well informed about the ocean and the creatures living there. They went above and beyond to make our excursion a learning experience in addition to having a blast!!

Had a Blast!!

Came with my family of 5 and we had a great time. The.captain and his assistant were cool. They are very helpful and entertaining. Overall it was a great experience for us and my kids really enjoyed and loved it.

Crab island catamaran excursion

Captain Justin and  his helper Gianna were super nice, helpful, kind and funny. The trip was very cool from start to finish.

Excellent, awesome, zero complaints

Captain Justin and the other younger guy was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. We love the music  and you don’t need to bring any floaties with you cause they have it on the boat! The best part was that I saw was when they were taking out the jellyfish within the area

worth it!

Great Experience

We had an amazing time! The crew was helpful getting us off and told us some cool areas to check out! 10/10 will definitely use them again!

Amazing

We had the best time on your pontoon rental!! The guys were awesome and very knowledgeable. We spent a week in Miramar Beach doing all kinds of fun things, but this was by far the best thing we did.  I’d promised my 3 year old grandson I’d take him to see dolphins and we did that aboard the pontoon. We were all so excited because we never expected that. Thanks!

Everyone had such a great time on the boat with Chandler. We couldn't have asked for a better host. He even shared his secret on how to remain standing on the paddle boards, lol. Highly recommend.

Loved By All

We had an awesome time, and captain Chandler was amazing!  We got to learn amazing details on the island, and some great food tips!  He was so accommodating, and made sure we got the full experience!  I would recommend Captain Chandler for anybody!  He was also enthusiastic, and fun!  One of my favorite experiences  of our trip!

Awesome time with great Capt!!!!

Our Captain was fantastic. He was safe and passenger conscious at all times, but was personable also. The only reason for a 4 star is: wasn't able to enjoy the experience due to jellyfish.

Jellyfish...Yuke!

Hoosier Boat Renter

Boat was great, staff at tge check in was great, but tgat part is a bottleneck. Needed more staff to pull it off efficiently. I was suppose to get an email to fill out waivers before I got there, but never did. That took an extra 15 minutes. Then there was a strange way to accept or decline insurance. Very confusing.

Fun adventure.

We arrived to FWB one day after Helene and we so grateful that the entire island was spared..and also so welcoming. We weren't able to swim bc the flags so I called crabisland.com. Chris Sehman came through in a clutch. He got us on a boat that was right across the street from our hotel, checked the tide forecast, and just guided us in all the right directions. 

The boat rental itself was a seamless process and everyone was super nice. Will definitely be back and book through trips tripshock.

Thank you Chris Sehman!

We rented a boat for a day out on crab island for my bachelorette. Captain  Robert was wonderful. The boat had everything we needed and we all had the best day.

Such a fun boat day

Captain Rob was our guide for the afternoon and he was nothing but professional, insightful and accommodating. When our group wanted to move around to a different spot at Crab Island, he did so without issue and with ease. He even saved me (the groom to be) the last beer from our stash so I could enjoy on the ride back to our cars!! 10/10 would book again with Captain Rob 

Captain Rob is AWESOME!!

Captain Robert was great. He made for a great time on the water and was very knowledgeable about the Destin area.
