Why Guests Love Our Captained Crab Island Boat Rentals
-
👨✈️ Licensed 5-Star Captains
Handpicked for their expertise, personality, and commitment to safety. With years of experience on the water, they’re the best of the best when it comes to navigating safely and delivering a five-star experience.
-
🏄 Float In Style
We believe that relaxing and playing in the water is a must—not an add-on. That’s why we include the largest selection of water mats and floats with every charter, at no extra cost. While other companies charge for every single toy, we make sure the fun comes standard. From massive water mats to inflatable loungers and floating couches, we’ve got everything you need to stretch out, splash around, and make the most of your time at Crab Island.
-
⚓ Located in Destin Harbor
We’re proudly located right in the heart of the Destin Harbor—just 10 minutes from Crab Island and surrounded by the crystal-clear waters dolphins love to call home. Unlike other companies that take advantage of out-of-towners by sending them miles away (hello, traffic!) and wasting half their trip cruising through murky bay water, we keep you where the action is. Less time driving, more time playing, and the best chance to spot dolphins along the way. When you're this close to paradise, why start your day anywhere else?
-
👨👩👧👦 A Legacy on the Water
We’re a locally owned and family-operated business with over 12 years of hands-on experience at Crab Island and 6 years proudly running charters. As one of the original cruise companies in the area, we’ve seen it all—and we know exactly what it takes to deliver a safe, fun, and unforgettable experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do babies count as passengers?
Yes. The United States Coast Guard counts every living, breathing person on the boat as a passenger on the vessel. We are legally only allowed to carry a certain number of total passengers (plus captain and crew).
Can we bring our own drinks and snacks?
Yes! You’re welcome to anything you’d like, we have a cooler filled with ice waiting for you!
Where do we meet?
We are located on the Destin Harbor at 530 Harbor Blvd.
What is the cancellation policy?
Since we are a seasonal business, all bookings are subject to a strict 7-day cancellation policy. The charge will not be refunded if you cancel within 7-days of your cruise. Trips may be rescheduled, but are subject to availability. Cancellations within 7-days will not be refunded for any reason, including sudden illness or injury. Be prepared to lose your deposit if you do not show up for your cruise.
What if the weather is bad?
If the weather is unsafe and the Captain calls off the activity, the tour may be rescheduled for a later time or a full refund will be issued. This decision is at the Captain’s discretion. Temperature, the color of the water, and overcast days do not apply to a weather-related cancelation.
Can I bring alcohol?
Yes, you are welcome to bring you favorite drinks. We just ask that you please do not bring glass bottles.
What should I pack?
Pack like you would when visiting the beach or pool. Towels, sunscreen, swimsuits, coverups, drinks, snacks, water games, and floats are all recommended. You may also want to bring cash for Crab Island vendors if you would like to use their services, and gratuity for captain and crew (optional, but customary and appreciated!).
