Our trip with Captain Robbie was FANTASTIC! He did a great job of sharing with us a local's glimpse into the Harbor and Crab Island. We were lucky enough to see packs of dolphins twice and even though the water was a little chilly had a great time playing at Crab Island. He did a great job with the kids (3rd and 8th grade) on our cruise and was a genuinely nice guy. We look forward to our next time in Destin!

Our trip out with Captain Marshall was the best part of our Emerald Coast vacation! We were 3 adults and 3 kids (ages 4, 6, and 8) and he made sure we all had a good time. Marshall was intuitive and sensed that we were more the private type who enjoyed quiet excursions so after taking us to use the restroom (very important!), we saw some dolphins and went swimming/snorkeling off a remote part of Okaloosa Island. It was perfect and away from the crowds of Crab Island. The kids loved the lily pad. He also took us to a fantastic upscale chic lunch spot with cocktails. This was just what we needed

For the complete package, this is the one to book. Pretty much you direct what you want to do or leave it all to one of the four seasoned captains. Everyone else tell you too many people? They have capacity for 40 (4 boats--possibly some shuttling) but whatever you need, they do their best to provide it Get up close and personal with the dolphin unlike being 30 feet in the air on the huge boats that offer dolphin cruises. They made some suggestions about where to eat, the time it would take and answered all of our questions. We didn't need to worry about playing destruction derby with

Best day ever! We had four kids with us, and he made sure every single person had a great time. And that says a lot of you know our kids. He took care of everything. Need a beer? Wave! Need anything? Ask! He was so accommodating to us which is really nice because sometimes with kids you can feel overwhelmed (crying, hungry, etc). It was the best day of our trip. I can't wait to come back and do it again (adults only)!

Captain Walt is the best! We took a 4 hour tour to Crab Island on our family vacation. He gave us a great tour of the harbor including a dolphin "show". He had a large floating Lilly pad that we hung out on which was the envy of the other people on the island. He even took us to a private area to find hermet crabs which the kids and adults loved. This is a must if you are visiting Destin. We will definitely do this tour again in the future!

Today was the *perfect* day. Captain Walt is very clearly a genuinely kind person, and he obviously cares about ensuring that his guests have a great time. Our group was small (me, my partner and my 14 year old daughter), and we made it clear that we really wanted to make sure she had a good time. He was great about letting her choose where we would go and when, and he even did a round of "You're in charge. You point and I'll go in that direction." She was *thrilled*, and that meant that we were thrilled. I definitely want to go on another cruise with him next time we come to

Captain Walt is the best! Gave us girls a great day on the water/at crab island.
Great deal to spend a day cruising on a boat. Even on an overcast day we had the most fun, with great service and wonderful water views! Highly recommend to others for a fun day activity for couples, groups or families.
