Chandler tailored our experience for us and it was the highlight of our trip!  My son and I went to crab island and paddle boarded then went to an area nearby and saw a bald eagle, cranes and lounged in the water. We then went on the hunt for dolphins and saw no less than 10 frolicking and jumping out of the water to include a mother and baby dolphin. Chandler was so accommodating and welcoming and made us feel right at home. 
I’ll be going to back to take friends and booking Chandler again then. 
Amazing experience all around!

Majestic experience

We had so much fun! The Captain was very nice & knowledgeable of the area and made the charter very fun for me and the kids!

Highly recommend!

Chandler was an excellent guide. We enjoyed seeing dolphin, turtle, shark, and paddle boarding at Crab island.

Great

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!

Captain Chandler was very knowledgeable and curated the trip to our liking! Excellent service!

Loved our experience!

We had a great time at Crab Island! It wasn't too crowded and we were able to paddleboard around and just chill on the floaties.  We also saw a dolphin that came right up to the boat!

So fun!

I was told to arrive at AJ’s to meet for the boat. That worked out because we went to walk there the night before and saw where our boat was. The day we arrived, we pulled into ajs parking lot and was greeted by someone working the lot. He told us we had to park across the street and pay. I was confused as it said in the reservation that parking was free. Chandler was awesome! We loved our trip but asked him about the parking situation and he said, yes, it should be free. To ask at the ajs booth. There were two young girls working it who seemed to not really know what they were doing as far as the parking. We left and asked the man with the tattooed shirt on about it. He also, was not helpful at all. We ended up paying for the parking which was disappointing when it was supposed to be included. Chandler and the trip was great! The parking situation needs to be addressed

Trip was great! Parking, not so much.

I highly recommend Captain Chandler. Prior to taking us to Crab Island, he took us to see dolphins and spot sea turtles. Its definitely worth it!

Awesome Experience

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!

I booked a pontoon boat rental through TripShock, which apparently acts as an agency for individual rental operators.
When the rental I had chosen fell through, TripShock proactively found an alternate operator and made all the arrangements to switch my booking.
A woman from TripShock called me to let me know what was going on and answered all my questions, and TripShock followed up with e-mails and text messages. They even told me the best place to park near the marina.
Oh, and the rental from the replacement operator turned out to be less expensive than my original booking, so I got a partial refund, too.
Before I started, I was a little wary of booking through an agency instead of contacting individual rental operators directly. But I am so glad I went to TripShock.com. Their web site is a great place to find a lot of offers, and I can't say enough good things about their customer service.

Good boat, great customer service

The crew was really nice! Boat was perfect.

After finally getting through check-in (a few redundant and silly procedures really slow things down), we got our large group to the pier where the guys did an excellent,  and fun,  job of preparing us to take off. The boat was great (12 passenger double decker with dual slides) and easy to maneuver.  The only issue was the weather was cool,  so we ended up with a pretty short slide and swim session,  opting instead for more water exploring.  But still,  very enjoyable!

Great boat and crew

Good time

Had a great day on the boat! Was clean and ready to go…and helpful with loading and unloading!

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!
