I absolutely would NOT...

I absolutely would NOT recommend this tour or this company!! We have some Airbnb properties in Destin, so we are trying different tours and this was awful from the start. We purchased a 4 hour tour 12-4pm. They changed our start time to 1:30pm to accommodate a private tour ($$$) with very little notice. The boat was ridiculously full, it felt like they were hurding cattle and even though check in was 1pm and we were supposed to take off right at 1:30pm (already an hour and half later that when we booked) they waited on late arrivals while we were all baking in the sun!! We had to cancel our evening plans due to the time change and were so upset by the entire experience, we were just miserable and unhappy the whole time. There are lots of charters and tour companies in Destin, DO NOT pick this one!!! Side note, the captain and his helper were nice.

Adventures

I was running behind and they waited patiently for my husband. They are very kind and easy going. I went with my husband and three kids ages 15,4,3. If you’re thinking of booking just go ahead and do it with these guys.

Crab Island is where it's at.

This was everything it had all different types of food the best part was being able to bring your own drinks and snacks. Its best you bring your own drinks snacks etc. just being able to walk around crab Island without worrying about anything was everything for me. lol It was very nice
