I just wanted to give a big shout out to Nick and Kyle for their exceptional service that they provided. They were so friendly and happy to greet us. Overall, 5 stars were not enough to send to Nick and Kyle.

Awesome Time

We were the group of Bachelorettes that were lucky enough to get paired with Nick and Kayla! We had the best time on our charter to Crab Island. The boat was clean and roomy, and had tons of floats and stuff for outside of the boat we could use. Nick and Kayla were both amazing. They went out of their way to make sure we had a fabulous time. They were both super knowledgeable of the boat and the area. Nick captained the boat perfectly, while Kayla was our very own marine biologist, finding us shrimps and nonchalantly grabbing the occasional Jelly fish to get it away from our party. Our theme for the trip was Bow's and they even hung a big bow on the boat for us!! Crab Island itself is awesome, but Nick and Kayla made the day truly rememberable. Thank you guys, we had the BEST Day with Ya'll.

Bow Bachelorettes

Our captain and first mate were great! We had two infants on board, and 7 children that they accommodated to perfectly. They got us to and from crab island quickly and made sure we had the best time. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

Amazing time!

Captain Luke and partner were great, helped with anything and had fun experience. Will be back

Boat experience

A chartered boat is the only way to visit Crab Island! Our Captian and First Mate were exceptional, they were attentive,  personable, and outgoing. The Hot Tin was a wonderful boat,  having a shaded cover whenever you want it, was a huge bonus.  We look forward to next year.

Kayla and Nick are the best!!!

We had a great day with Luke and Kayla at Crab Island!

Great Day T Cran Island!

Awesome experience ! Family had a great time !
Definitely will do again !!!
Thank you !

Captain Taylor was really great, extremely knowledgeable and took care to ensure we did all the activities we wanted, then got us back, right on time. 
Kudos!

Great chill

Went on the 3 hour swim and chill tour with Captain Taylor we had six people  ages 17 to 52. . Capt Taylor was hands down the best captain we have ever had at crab island. He was knowledge about the local marine life. Saw two sea turtles and countless dolphins before shoring up at crab island. He placed us smack in the middle, played good tunes and was extremely attentive to us all.  Captain Taylor made our trip the best. Highly recommend the experience.

Great Fun.

Taylor was our captain and made sure we had a pleasant experience for the 4 hours that we had the catamaran booked!  Trip started with going to look for some dolphins, which resulted in us watching 3-4 dolphins swim for about 15-20 mins.  We then headed to Crab Island where Taylor got us some prime real estate right near Reef Burger and the shop that sells all the inflatables.  He made sure that we did not have to get in and out of the water for our drinks and even got in the water and interacted with us where other Captains just sat there and there was no interaction.
We will definitely be booking this trip again next year!  The extra money for the private boat for 6 is well worth it!

The pontoon was exactly what we wanted. It had
everything we needed and captain Casey was absolutely the best captain we could have asked for.  She gave us so much information and helped with all the equipment. The pontoon was a perfect size for the 6 of us.  Highly recommend it.  Thanks Captain Casey, from Houston,  Texas.

Had an awesome experience with Captain Casey

The beat life long memories and the captain was the best

Exactly what you expect on a great day out on the gulf

Only 2 of our 6 total guests made it for this adventure due to uncontrollable circumstances. Nonetheless, we had a great time! As it was my first time ever being on or near the gulf coast and seeing the white sands and clear blue water. My sister being the other guest that made it. It was nice to share the experience. 
Our captain was friendly and knowledgeable, despite the suprise of just 2 guests attending, he had some funny jokes and kept us entertained the whole time. 
Our only downside is that our guests didn't come along, otherwise I will totally recommend this charter/website to others heading to the area.

Still had a great time!

Great experience.  Called ahead to find help locating a pontoon service to accommodate wide range of passengers from kids to grandparents including handicapped accessible.

First time in Destin, Fl; and one of our planned activities was the 4-hour boat ride to Crab Island on the Lazy Days.  This indeed was one of the highlights of our trip!!  Our Captain and first mate, Peyton and Heidi (I hope I got their names right) were excellent hosts for our journey to Crab Island!  They interacted with our group really well; and participated in fun activities with the kids.  The entire trip went off without a hitch!!  We definitely look forward to returning to Destin in the future; and again booking the Lazy Day 4-hour Crab Island trip!!
