Cancellation Policy

Since we are seasonal, we do have a strict 48-hour cancellation policy. We will NOT refund you if you cancel your trip FOR ANY REASON within 48 hours before your arrival date and time. You may reschedule if the dates are available. Unfortunately, mother nature is not under our control. If bad weather occurs, the captain will make the call to cancel the trip. You may either reschedule your trip, or we will issue you a full refund.

Payment Info

After booking a trip, your card will be charged the full amount in order to reserve your spot. If you decide to cancel your trip before the 48hr cancellation policy, we will issue you a full refund.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should we tip the captain?

Yes! Your captain works hard to keep you safe during your trip and make sure you're having a great time. A tip lets the captain know they did a great job; 15-20% of your total is customary and greatly appreciated.

Do babies count as a passenger?

Yes, under Coast Guard Rules and Regulations every living, breathing person on the boat is considered a passenger.

Is there access to a restroom?

Yes, but we will not have a restroom on the boat. There will be a few locations to dock at in case of an emergency, but we recommend using the restroom before the trip.

Why is the water sometimes not clear?

The water changes due to the tides. During certain times of the day the water is going to appear clearer. If it is a bright sunny day the water is going to be crystal clear. If it is later in the day, cloudy, or a storm has just come through the water may appear darker and not as clear.

What if bad weather occurs during the trip?

Unfortunately, mother nature is not under our control. If bad weather occurs, the captain will make the call to cancel the trip. You may either reschedule your trip or we will issue you a full refund.

What to expect during the cruise?

Most of our time will be spent on Crab Island where we will anchor. We can also do harbor tours or stop at a delicious local restaurant for lunch. We can go shelling in the shallows by the Coast Guard station or just cruise around. Let your captain know what you would like to do. The choice is yours!

Can we go into the gulf?

Due to the strong current and high seas pontoons are not allowed to enter the gulf. Although, there is still plenty to see: Crab Island, Spectar Island, and the Destin Harbor.

Are dolphins Guaranteed?

No, spotting dolphins is not always guaranteed. Although rare, it sometimes happens. Dolphins are wild and can be friendly and playful, but sometimes they are shy and will stay away. We will do our best to try and make sure you see dolphins during your trip.

Are there any food vendors on Crab Island?

There are a few vendors on Crab Island such as the BBQ boat, Reef Burger, Jimmy's Ice Cream and t-shirts, and boiled peanut boats. Most accept cash/credit card.
