Reviews for 4-Hour Private Pontoon Rental: Departing from Gilligan's Watersports

Tyler was a great guide. He tailored our tour based on our request. We highly recommend and ask for Tyler!

This was our family’s 2nd year in a row using Xtreme H2O and they didn’t disappoint. The crew was awesome. Highly recommend for families whether your kids are big or small.

We went with Xtreme H20 (6/4/25) for the Crab Island Runner Crab Island 3 hour tour based off of all the great reviews, and not to mention the price for an adult was $69 and free parking. This company did not disappoint. The captain David and his first mate, Caiden were so nice and like talking with family. They were very personable and accommodating. We even had a chance to spot two dolphins. And there was two floating pads for us to lay out on. We also were able to bring our beach bag and snorkel gear on the boat. AND there was also a bathroom on the boat as a bonus. Many other places did not have a bathroom. There also were many food options that came up to the boat. We went with the Reef Burger and fries. They were very good and tasted freshly grilled. All in all, if you’re on the fence about doing anything on Crab Island, the crab island runner 3 hr boat tour/swim is the way to go! There are many other companies out there, but it’s the crew and the little things that make the trip exceptional.

We had an amazing time on the Crab Island Runner Sunset Dolphin Tour. We saw quite a few dolphins and saw a gorgeous sunset. David and Cayden were fantastic and we had an overall outstanding experience. I would highly recommend this excursion.

We went to a dolphin tour. Our Captain was Jordan and host was Corey. The tour was great and fun. We did see dolphins. Jordan told us about the different places around the harbor. The ride was smooth. The weather was perfect. And the service was good. We had a wonderful time! Highly recommended.

We had a blast on the jet ski/dolphin tour. The staff truly made the experience memorable. Also, the water was warm and crystal clear helping us find many dolphins and other wildlife.

Best parasailing experience I’ve been on! It was 4 of us and we loved it! Salvador helped take us out and the captain was Lee! Definitely a great time.

We went on a morning jet ski dolphin tour with our guide Matthew. He was AMAZING! So knowledgeable and familiar with the area and the wildlife, we trusted him to take us out in the gulf to try to see more than just dolphins. We were able to see a group of sharks and a giant pod of dolphins that swam all around and under our jetskis. I have never seen anything like it, on multiple jet ski tours we have done. Thank you Matthew for an amazing morning!

Our group of 5 went parasailing 11/21 and had a great time. It was our 3rd time going parasailing (twice in Virginia Beach) and this was by far the best time. The crew were very kind and answered all our questions. 10/10, would recommend

Great place! Very professional, friendly and accommodating. Kennedy will help you with parking and is great to talk to about local information. We also did the dolphin sunset cruise. Captain Dave and shipmate Will were great! They knew right where to go we saw so many amazing dolphins and the sunset was absolutely amazing! Great group!

We had the BEST time renting a spot on a pontoon to Crab Island with Captain Lauren and deckhand Will! From the moment we stepped on the boat, the vibe was welcoming, fun, and laid-back. Captain Lauren made everyone feel safe and comfortable and Will was super helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. They truly went above and beyond whether it was offering to take photos, hanging with us at the island, and just keeping the energy high the whole time. Crab Island was such a blast, and having a reserved spot with great crew made it stress-free and seamless. The boat was clean, spacious, and perfectly set up for a fun day under the sun. Can’t recommend this experience enough. 10/10. If you’re thinking about it… just book it. You’ll be so glad you did!! - From Harley, Matt, Tucker, Alex, and Sarah
