Destin: Private Pontoon to Crab Island & Dolphin CruiseYou get a USCG-certified captain, a pontoon that holds up to six people, and a full day's worth of water toys and snorkeling gear included. Choose your own pace: dolphin spotting, shell hunting, paddle boarding, or just anchoring at Crab Island to float and relax. Bring your own snacks and drinks, and decide on the spot how long you want to stay out.Is it for me?Book this if you want a flexible day on the water without arranging a captain or worrying about gear — the boat comes ready, the duration is yours to choose, and the only decision left is whether to chase dolphins or head straight to the island.
Destin: Private Crab Island Charter & Paddle BoardsYou get a private pontoon with captain, paddle boards, snorkel gear, and an 18-foot lily pad for the day. The captain knows the area and adjusts the route to what you want to do. Bring ice and food, and you're set for a full day without the group-boat hassle.Is it for me?Book this if you want to spend a full day at Crab Island without coordinating transport, timing, or sharing a boat with strangers — the private charter means you set the pace and the captain handles the rest.
Private Snorkeling & Dolphin Watching in Destin: 2–6 HoursPrivate snorkeling and dolphin watching in Destin aboard the Key Cat, a 26-foot power catamaran, for up to 6 travelers with a local captain. You choose the route—hunt for dolphins and sea turtles in the Gulf, anchor at Crab Island to swim and paddleboard, or mix both—and pick your own duration between 2 and 6 hours. Snorkeling gear, paddleboards, water toys, cooler with ice and bottled water are all included; the captain handles navigation and wildlife spotting.Is it for me?Book the 2-hour option if you want a quick swim and dolphin search without a full day commitment; go 4 to 6 hours if you want time to hunt wildlife, snorkel at Crab Island and paddleboard without watching the clock. The captain steers while you decide where to stop and when to move on, so the day stays on your terms instead of a fixed itinerary.
