My first time at Crab Island. It was beautiful. The other guests on board were courteous and respectful. The music was perfect for a day in the fun sun and water.

A very friendly and affordable experience , unfortunately it did rain on our excursion so we went in early HOW EVER the captain said he would take care of us if we came back and I fully believe he would have had we not all gotten a bad sunburn and could not go back out. The experience regardless of the rain was so much fun and unique that we will be back and I really want to book for my bachelorette in the future. We will do our tequila shots captain. And I’m sorry we couldn’t make it out this Sunday like we said. We hope you remember us for next time ❤️

We had the best time! The water was super clear and FREEZING but we were able to warm up quickly. It wasn’t too crowded and the staff was super helpful and accommodating for little ones.

Capt. Justin and Christian were great! Our trip with them made for an even more memorable birthday! We swam with manatees and ended up with a front row view of dolphins. Capt. Justin even gave my husband some good fishing advice! Thank you, guys!

I don't know, the boat left us because there were no address numbers to follow and no the directions lead to several docks it was so confusing! We gotthere right at 12 but the boat was already gone we spoke to a rep. About getting at least 1/2 my money back but they would not budge in fact they wanted to charge us another 150. To come back next day! I already paid $300 and they want ANOTHER 150.00 I would not recommend this company there is no respect or negotiation on their part at all. That was my experience.

The water was freezing, but the tour was great. Justin & Patrick were great guides. I'd definitely do this again (when it's warmer)
