I truly enjoyed the experience, even with the rain. We spotted several jellyfish and crabs from the boat, and the water became clear.
Cody served as an excellent captain, taking the time to show us dolphins while traveling to and from Crab Island. I highly recommend the boat ride to Crab Island.
This trip was incredible, and Captain Jayden made it even better with his kindness and great care for us. The boat ride truly enhanced my birthday weekend.
We arranged a private pontoon charter to Crab Island, complete with slides and a restroom for up to 12 people, during early April spring break, and the experience exceeded our expectations. With seven of us on board, the private charter allowed for a laid-back and tailored day. The boat featured two slides, paddle boards, a lily mat, a restroom, and a speaker for our music. The lily mat and slides were particularly popular, especially with my daughter and husband, who spent most of their time in the water. The weather was around 76 degrees, but the early April water was a bit brisk initially. Once acclimated, it was enjoyable, though the breeze could be a little chilly when exiting the water. I suggest bringing towels and a light cover-up or hoodie just in case. Our captain, Jayden, was outstanding. He managed traffic delays patiently and was both professional and friendly, ensuring a smooth, stress-free trip. Crab Island has a lively atmosphere with many boats, music, and food vendors. We visited on a Thursday, which was busy yet not overcrowded—ideal timing, as weekends and peak summer likely draw larger crowds. We paid $650 for the four-hour private charter, plus a $150 captain fee and tip, which is quite reasonable when shared among a group for such a private experience. Some tips: bring towels, snacks, drinks, and a waterproof phone pouch; aim for a weekday visit; having a restroom on board is a plus; and remember to tip your captain. Overall, I highly recommend this excursion. It was enjoyable, relaxing, and family-friendly, definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
Cody was an excellent captain! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with music, paddle boarding, and lounging on the lily pad. I highly recommend this activity for a fun afternoon in Destin.

Captain Cody was excellent, and our boat was in great condition, equipped with everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Crab Island.
It's definitely worth the expense, but it's important to look at the details. We were taken aback by the $150 fee for the captain when we got there.
Corbin was fantastic! He was both professional and entertaining. I would certainly return for this experience again.
From the moment we arrived in the parking lot to the time we returned with empty coolers, Captain Corbin ensured we had a great experience. He was courteous, professional, and enjoyable, making our trip exceed all expectations.
