Beautiful Afternoon on the Water

This was perfect! He communicated well prior to the trip, the location was easy to find. Tailored to what we wanted, we saw manatee, dolphins, snorkeled, paddle boarded, and more… then watched the sun go down. The boat was well kept, great captain kept the ride smooth. I’d absolutely recommend this.

This truly was the highlight of our vacation, we had such an amazing time with memories to last a lifetime. We had Captain Mike he was very informative and fun to have with us, he was on point taking us to see sharks and dolphins. He then took us by crab island making our way to a quiet beach for us to swim, and he even gave us a quick paddle board lesson. Thank you so much for this incredible experience!!
WOW! The best time on the water!

WOW!! Hands down the best time ever on the water in Destin! We had the most amazing and memorable time with Captain Scott! We are local and normally rent a pontoon when family is in town. This time we decided to go on this private dolphin and snorkel tour… and all I can say is we will do this excursion every time we want to do a crab island day! Captain Scott made it so much more than what we ever did on our own! He took us to go scout for dolphin and sharks. Then took us snorkeling at a spot only locals would know. We ended the trip at crab island and had the best time! Captain Scott now feels like part of the family! Book this excursion asap!

We had the best time on a private boat tour with Captain Scott! He took us around the bay, through Destin Harbor, and down the canals—we even spotted sharks. At Crab Island, he set up a giant floaty, had a paddleboard ready, and a cooler full of ice for our Prosecco and beer. We relaxed, soaked up the sun, and loved every minute. Captain Scott was super informative and shared great dinner tips too. This was a highlight of our trip and a must-do when visiting the Destin area!
