  • Best for Celebrations, family gatherings and groups who prefer the day handled

A private captained charter is the effortless way to experience Crab Island. A licensed captain handles the vessel and the route; you and your guests settle in for a day anchored at the sandbar. From an intimate party to a larger gathering, departing Destin Harbor, Fort Walton Beach or Santa Rosa Beach, I match your group to the right vessel and arrange the booking. Pricing varies by size of vessel. Tell me your date and headcount, and I will take it from there.
