About this Experience

What you'll do:

Board a double-decker tritoon in Destin, climb to the top deck, and launch off the slide straight into the emerald-green water of Crab Island.

  • Cruise to Crab Island – Skim across the harbor on a private tritoon built for groups, with a 360° top deck for sun and views.

  • Slide into the water – Send the whole group down the upper-deck slide and into the sandbar shallows.

  • Anchor at the sandbar – Drop into the Crab Island party scene, wade between floating food vendors, and post up wherever you want.

  • Float and lounge – Stretch out on the 7-foot water hammock or sunbathe on the 7-foot floating dock tied off the back of the boat.

  • Snorkel and paddle – Grab full snorkel gear or one of two paddleboards and explore the clear shallows on your own time.

By hour three, your group is somewhere between the slide, the hammock, and the speaker, and nobody's checking the time.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Double-decker tritoon with slide – Two levels of deck space and a top-deck slide mean your group never feels packed in or stuck doing one thing.

  • 7-foot water hammock and floating dock – Built-in lounge space on the water, so you can float beers, sunbathe, or nap without ever going back to shore.

  • Beer pong mat and loud Bluetooth stereo – A real party setup, not a polite background-music boat. You control the playlist and the games.

  • Two paddleboards and full snorkel gear – Bachelorette parties, birthdays, and groups can split off and do their own thing without the boat going anywhere.

  • USCG-licensed captain included – You get a captain with First Aid, CPR, Firefighting, and Water Survival certifications, so the only thing you're managing is the cooler.
