Catamaran Cruise to Crab Island and Dolphin Sighting (BYOB)

About this Experience

What you'll do:

Set sail on a sun-soaked catamaran cruise from Destin to the famous Crab Island Sandbar. This fun-filled, family-friendly adventure kicks off with a short dolphin-watching cruise, before anchoring at Crab Island — a vibrant, waist-deep hangout spot with crystal-clear waters and floating fun.

Relax on provided lily pads, splash around with water toys, or swim among the gentle marine life. Your licensed captain and crew make sure you’re taken care of while you soak up the Florida sun, vibe with the island scene, and enjoy the freedom to bring your own food and drinks along for the ride.

Why we love it for your group:

  • Modern, comfortable catamaran – Includes bathroom on board

  • Short dolphin cruise included – See dolphins in their natural habitat

  • Relax at Crab Island – Crystal-clear, shallow waters ideal for floating and lounging

  • Water toys & lily pads included – Just bring a towel and your swimsuit

  • BYO drinks & snacks – Coolers welcome (no glass, please)
