5.00Ask for Eddie...he was our tour guide and he was wonderful! Very entertaining and interesting stories he has. He made the boat experience just what four senior women needed. And what an experience to be in the beautiful water on Crab Island.

5.00Our captain Mike was great, he’s very personable and made sure we enjoyed our time at crab island! As he was steering the boat, he noticed dolphins jumping in the water and took us closer so we could get pictures, which was so cool to see! He played fun music during the 3 hours, put out a large floatie for us to use and deflated our floaties at the end.
Fun, quirky local activity

5.00Our captain, Shane, made our day! It was a windy day and he let us decide if we wanted to go to Crab Island or stay on a beach or just do our own little cruise. He parked us on an area where the wind was blocked and we were able to enjoy the water and floaties. He was super helpful and accommodating. Fun day and such a quirky local thing to do.
Great time
