My children and I booked the 6:15pm Saturday Sunset Dolphin Cruise as a part of my Mother's Day trip. The experience was amazing. Dillon and Bud (hopefully I remembered the correct names) were great tour guides. The music was pleasant for all. They did a great job of telling us about the history, the homes and made sure we were able to catch viewing of dolphins. I will definitely book again the next trip to Destin. I recommend touring with Happy's Crab Island Watersports the next time you are in Destin, Fl.

Thank you to the captain and first mate for an amazing experience of crab island. We arrived late for our 10am take off (10am takeoff but needed to arrive 30-45 min prior; of course I called prior to us arriving to inform of our lateness) and ::thankfully:: their next cruise wasn’t until 2pm. We were the last family aboard!
We brought our own floats and they were well equipped with 2 air pumps aboard to fill them (I recommend 5 below for affordability and durability…surprisingly). They provided a float pad and paddle board, we’re able to radio fellow boaters over with a variety of items (food, shirts, pineapples/coconuts). Definitely a cool experience!

Had an amazing evening cruising the Bay with Captain Chris and First Mate Abel. It was relaxed and just what we needed after a very busy fall. Chris is a multi-generational sea captain and has great stories to tell about the history of the area, restaurant reviews, not to miss destinations sites, and, of course, where to find dolphins. ....Anand we saw lots and lots of dolphins. I think Chris is a dolphin whisperer! 🐬😎. Highly recommend if you want a friendly, relaxed and entertaining evening.

We booked this /dolphin cruise on December 28, 2023, which is off peak season but they were available and we booked it right away. It was a wonderful experience for our family of 3. Our preteen daughter was all smiles when the dolphins swam so close to the boat. The captains were awesome at finding dolphins and being respectful to them too. We followed a pod of 4 and another pod of 3 dolphins and it was amazing. Truly a memorable experience. I would highly recommend taking this tour with Happy Crab! We look forward to being able to return and book them again on our next visit to Destin. 🐬

Has a GREAT experience at Happy's! We did a walk up (no advanced reservation) and they were very accommodating. They are close to crab island so it's an easy pick. Couple of notes: 1) If you were born after 1988, Florida requires you to get a license to operate ANY water toys (wave runner, jet ski, pontoon, etc.). 2) They provide the link and you take a test on your phone. If you pass, you proceed to renting the personal water craft! It's a Florida state law, not the provider and costs $10. They give you extra time to get through the wake zone, so if you rent for 1 hour, you get a buffer so you can get the most out of your time with the water craft. They have bathrooms connected to their setup so you can change clothes before heading to the docks. We rented wave runners, they were in excellent condition. The wave runners have a dry space so you can put keys, wallet, phone, sunblock. The wave runners are on a floating dock so it's easy on/off. They are big enough for 2, 3 if you have kids. Rates were comparable and you can reserve online, but walk up was a breeze too. Thanks Happy's for a great experience, making the rental a breeze and helping us enjoy Crab Island and the beautiful water! Don't miss crab island and watch for low/high tide - it's makes a difference in the blue water and clarity!

My husband and I went on the sunset cruise to see the dolphins. The views were amazing! The staff were very friendly Justin was our captain and he was awesome alone with the other staff member. Music played on the boat we had made memories! They were very patient and friendly. They called to make sure we were still coming and even turned around to pick up someone who arrived late. Awesome awesome please book with them!

Easy to set up the rental. The staff was very informative on the boat and places to go and not to go. Boat was clean and easy to operate. Our 70plus crew had no problem going up and down the slide making it fun for all.

Side note, we had a dock line get stuck in the prop, they came right out and got it out and we were back on our way!

Took a trip out to Crab Island with Dylan and Joy. They had a great way of keeping everyone engaged and laughing. Dylan slowed the boat a couple times when he noticed dolphins so we could see them. Crab Island was great, but it was better due to the trip out and back. Would highly recommend.

The trip was such fun. Our Captain, Dawson and his mate Joy, made our day even more fun. Helped us with all the water toys, took care of everything. We were 3 senior citizen friends having a girls trip to Destin. I felt safe the whole time. The weather was beautiful. A dingy came buy offering Fruit Drinks, I got a watermelon one. It was a whole small watermelon carved insite so I just pulled it out tp eat, so refreshing, especially when I added cocoanut run inside it! Thanks Dawson and Joy for our special day.

We took the Sunset Dolphin Cruise with Captain Brian and Bud. This was the best dolphin cruise of any that we have ever been on in the gulf area. Not only did we see dozens of dolphins, but the captain was very nice and knowledgeable. I like to ask a lot of questions before and during the excursion and both gentlemen were great to tell stories of the area and explain the surroundings.
