Our Crab Island cruises give you the chance to enjoy shallow, crystal-clear waters, soak up the sun, and experience the unique attractions that make this destination so popular. Whether you’re looking for a fun family day or a relaxing afternoon on the water, our Crab Island tour offers something for everyone.

Take A Cruise On Crab Island

Head out of the Destin harbor to the world famous Crab Island where the waters are emerald green and the water is shallow. Swim or walk around this giant area full of attractions and fun! This is a 2 or 3 hour trip.

Dolphin Watching and Dolphin Sightseeing Adventures

One of the highlights of any Crab Island cruise is the opportunity for dolphin watching. Our guided tours often encounter playful dolphins swimming near the boat, giving guests an unforgettable chance to witness these amazing creatures up close. For those who love wildlife, our dolphin sightseeing experiences are both thrilling and educational, providing insight into Destin’s coastal ecosystem while you enjoy the scenic views.

Fun and Attractions at Crab Island

The shallow waters of Crab Island are perfect for anchoring, swimming, and enjoying the local atmosphere. Families and groups can explore sandy banks, swim around, or simply relax on the boat and take in the sights. This area is famous for its lively water environment and is a great complement to a day of dolphin cruising or general sightseeing along the Destin coastline.

A Memorable Day on the Water

Whether you’re joining us for a Crab Island cruise, dolphin watching, or a casual afternoon exploring the bay, our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and memorable experience for all our guests. From spotting dolphins to soaking in the sparkling waters and enjoying the attractions, a trip to Crab Island with First Shot Charters is a highlight of any Destin visit – contact us now to book!

Pricing

Pricing for these trips are $300 for 2 hour trips and $400 for 3 hour trips and time depends on what activity you choose. For instance, a sunset cruise is going to leave a lot later than a crab island excursion. Most of these trips are afternoon departures unless I am not fishing that day then the time can be adjusted to meet your needs! If you would like a longer trip then call for pricing.

Mike is so knowledgeable and it is such a blast to fish with the best! He took me out with my son who is now stationed on an army base in Germany. When he is in the states the 1st thing he wants to do is book another trip with Mike. If you want a incredible fishing experience please reach out to First shot Charter boats!

Capt. Mike worked very hard all day to put us on fish and wouldn't stop until he had us a nice mess of fish.
