This is a 3 hour trip to the famous Crab Island. Bring your drinks and make sure its enough for all and the duration of your stay there, since no one will be selling or distributing alcohol. You are welcome to bring food as well. Crab Island will have a variety of vendors selling things. When you arrive at Crab Island and the Captain gives you the all clear to disembark. You can enjoy the beautiful water and white sand beaches with the hundreds of other vacationers having a good time. It is hard to not enjoy yourself out there especially on the only "yacht" that can get on crab island. Its too shallow for any other!.

      This 3 hour trip sails through the Beautiful Destin Harbor for a short run out to the famous Crab Island Sandbar. Where you will see what all the hype is about in the harbor and on the sandbar. Enjoy the energy, music, people watching and drinks on the harbor's quietest boat. It is truly a treat to enjoy.

      Sunset, Dolphins and Slade!
      The cruise was fabulous! Captain Slade was knowledgeable about the area and showed us some cool sights and an incredible sunset! We even managed to see some dolphins up close! The cleanliness and quietness of the electric boat was great. I would highly recommend Slade and this tour!!!

      Smooth cruise under red and pink sunset sky
      Captain Mike was the best! He gave us an extensive ride of the harbor millionaire homes. We marveled at the yachts and beautiful homes. The boat was electric giving us a smooth quiet ride. Captain Mike then took us to the bay where we saw a magical sunset and he took great photos for us. We'll do it again next time we visit and try the daytime cruise. He was very nice and easy to chat with.

      The absolute best possible sunset cruise
      Let's start with Capt. Mike. He called us to let us know that we were the only two passengers this evening and we could go out early if we wanted. We arrived and he greeted us like long lost friends, welcomed us aboard and helped me (74 years old with terrible back and knees) aboard. He asked if we had a playlist we would like for him to play and when we said no, he suggested some Jimmy Buffet music and since we are Parrotheads, we jumped on that. He took us through the back bay and showed us some beautiful real estate and incredible yachts. Capt. Mike then took us out in the channel and we chased dolphins for a while and watched a surprisingly beautiful sunset that appeared out of a thunderhead! He stopped and took some pictures of my wife and me. He is a great conversationalist and a genuinely nice guy. We are planning to come back this way in a few months and we will definitely request Capt. Mike. When I was researching sunset cruises, I saw these loud and large party barges that promised wild and crazy times. We wanted not so wild and preferably not crazy at all. We got what we wanted in this amazing 22 ft. electric Duffy boat that rode like a sailboat. So if you want a relaxing sunset cruise in Destin with a great captain, book this one and ask for Capt. Mike!

      Destin Harbor Sunset
      This cruise was the perfect way to close out a beautiful day in Destin. Got some beautiful pictures of the sunset and the lovely scenes around the Harbor. Harry was a fantastic and engaging captain and showed us some fantastic sights!

      None, due to death in our family.
      Company is hard to reach for refund, we had an unexpected death in our family, tried countless times to get refund, no number for company so I can cancel. Why is this?

    Where do I start?! The items that were supposed to be provided, wasn’t (ice, cups, shot cups). When we asked about them, he went and purchased a small bag of ice. As we got underway, I ask for a cup, he said he only had one left! Listen, there was 6 people and we paid $88 each. Don’t falsely advertise that these things are to provided and then they aren’t. Before leaving the dock, Captain Z kept telling us that his anchor wasn’t working properly. We got concerned but he kept saying not to worry he’d work it out. We get to Crab Island, he brings us up the back side of the island. We got in the water and couldn’t even feel the bottom. I’m guessing he didn’t take us further inland enough to even enjoy the island. We had to help him get the anchor down. He pulls near other boats and almost hit them. My daughter ended up getting into an argument with a guy from another boat, because at this point this guy is saying derogatory remarks to us. We were only out there for about 30 minutes and a storm comes. We get concerned again but Captain Z dismisses it. We noticed that others around us started packing up and leaving. We make our concerns known to Captain Z, but he dismisses us again. It wasn’t until we saw the officers coming out in their boats with their lights on that we should really be worried. At that point my friend demand that we leave. The waters got very very choppy and my daughter started having a panic attack. If I could attach the videos we took, I really would. My children did not have a good first experience and that made me a very unhappy mom!!!!!!!

    Ty was so friendly and accommodating! We booked on a day that was, unfortunately, rainy and storming. He kept our safety in mind and brought us back in, offering to wait it out until later or try again the next day. We opted for the next day which was beautiful and sunny. This was the highlight of our vacation. The boat was perfect, the water clear, and the sand pristine beneath our feet. Would highly recommend booking his excursion, especially with Ty as your captain!

    What a great to spend the day! Captain Harry took us out to Crab Island where we got to chill and relax in the sun and listen to jams. Very nice boat, incredible & knowledgeable Captain (he even played waiter from the boat for us so we could stay in the water). I would recommend to anyone in Destin area! Going back for the sunset cruise!

    Harry was our guide, and he was really kind and made sure we were all safe and had a great time. I would recommend Destin Harbor Cruises and ask for Harry. He also knows all the great fishing spots to go to also.

    Perfect day out to crab island with Capt Harry! He was such a fun captain and the boat was very nice. He had a big cooler filled with ice and ready for our drinks. My only issue was that I wish we booked longer than 3 hours! Now we know better for next time. We can’t wait to come back next year!

    Great morning in the water hunting crabs on crab island. Captain was professional, knowledgeable and had safety in mind at all time. His experience showed as the waters got crowed around lunch and he navigated out.

    My fiance and I did the 3 hour crab island excursion today with Captain Slade. What a wonderful, relaxing experience. So much fun. The boat was great! Captain Slade was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our excursion. We would absolutely book another excursion with him next time we’re in Destin. We highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun relaxing getaway!

    Crab island excursion was absolutely delightful! Harry was a thoughtful and thorough Captain. He gave us lots of great information about the island and even suggested some great dinner options for the rest of our vacation. The area was pristine with crystal clear shallow waters perfect for tossing around a football or volleyball. I would highly recommend to anyone in need of a relaxing escape.

    Just a terrific experience. Capt Harrison got us a very nice spot out on the water. Music was great and we enjoyed the water toys he brought along. Boat had plenty of room and well-conditioned. Meet a very nice couple from Detroit so fun all around.
