Planning a trip to Crab Island? A romantic sunset cruise? Let’s get you on the water.
Crab Island Adventures
Pontoons start at $500 • Yachts start at $1,200
Crab Island is the most iconic boating destination in Destin — and for good reason. This submerged sandbar features shallow, crystal-clear water perfect for anchoring, floating, and enjoying the scene. From relaxing with your crew to joining the party, Crab Island has something for everyone.
Pontoon tours anchor right in the middle of the action.
Yacht tours anchor just off the edge — close enough to enjoy the energy, but private enough to escape the chaos.
Whether you're here to celebrate or chill, we’ll take care of the boat, the setup, and the ride. You just bring your crew and your vibe.
Includes: Captain, cooler with ice, Bluetooth speaker, and floats
Ideal for: Bachelorette parties, birthdays, friend groups, and fun seekers
Spectre Island Escape
Pontoons start at $500 • Yachts start at $1,200
Tucked away in the Santa Rosa Sound, Spectre Island is the perfect destination for a quiet, crowd-free boat day. With undeveloped beaches, calm waters, and space to spread out, this spot is ideal for swimming, floating, beachcombing, or just kicking back in nature.
It’s a favorite for families, couples, and anyone looking to unwind without the noise of Crab Island. Want to bring food or drinks? Coolers with ice are included — and we can even help you add décor, floats, or picnic setups through trusted vendors.
Includes: Captain, cooler with ice, Bluetooth speaker, and float setup (on select tours)
Ideal for: Peaceful getaways, picnics, families, and nature lovers

Pontoons start at $500 • Yachts start at $1,200

Whether you're on a cozy pontoon or a luxury yacht, our captains know the best spots and will get you as close as safely possible for unforgettable views.
