The boat was nice and spacious and we had a smooth ride all day. We saw lots of dolphins and even a huge fever of sting rays which was really amazing. Once you get closer to Crab Island the water turns emerald green and then crystal clear. It's absolutely gorgeous. We were thankful to have chosen an earlier time (9am-1pm) for our trip as the tide was high which apparently adds to the water clarity. I think they deserve 5 stars for: boat quality, boat amenities, ease of scheduling, their followup and follow through. I would definitely use them again.

Tammy is such a…read moreknowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating person to work with, and we loved chatting with her before and after our ride. She gave us several great suggestions of places to get put in to the water, and we settled on getting in at the Point Washington boat ramp. This was a perfect space to spend our morning, and I'd highly recommend getting an early start to avoid the hottest part of the day. The bikes were great, and the adjustable seats and shoe straps on the pedals were easy to manage! Getting in and out of the bikes the first time takes some getting used to, but is easy to do once you feel comfortable! We explored the area and pedaled in and out of several bayous and creeks. While it in the open water of the bay, we watched an osprey hunt for fish, which was a huge highlight of the trip! We ended our trip with a visit to Eden Gardens State Park, which is a must see! The park is right by where we were dropped off and has lovely public restrooms and water fountains. Bring lots of sunscreen and water!

We enjoyed this excursion and I would recommend it! I was a little confused about what Crab Island…read morewas right up until we arrived. The best way to describe it is, it's an island that is now basically submerged. The entire "island" is covered by water that is about waist-deep on an average person (I'm 5'6). You can swim a little or just walk around in the water. You can also use floats, etc. The boat ride was great. We had two captains, both young boys, probably age 20 or under. They were friendly and nice. The ride took less than 20 minutes, maybe 15 or so, and was pleasant. Once you get to Crab Island, various vendors come by in boats with fresh fruit, Dippin Dots, etc. There's also different stationary boats that sell burgers, floaties, etc. It was fairly crowded when we went, on a Saturday morning. I will say, we did the 2.5 hour excursion. After about an hour, my party and I were pretty satisfied with the experience, so it felt a bit long. I was glad we didn't book the 3-hour experience. But overall, it's a fun experience, very unique. We had a good experience with this company as well.

One plus that is a personal preference: their website didn't push for a tip online before the experience. We did tip at the conclusion of the ride. Pilot made us feel at ease, shared interesting info about landmarks as we flew by them, etc. We do recommend the private charter option if you can swing it. The helicopters do have doors/are enclosed and seat a passenger up front and 2 in back. (Possibly 3 in back?) The best part was seeing the marine life in the water as we flew over: dolphins, fish and even a shark! Would definitely do again and we plan to add this to our next trip to the area.

BEST BEACH RENTAL COMPANY!!…read more A 5 star does not do this company justice. I am a local wedding planner and found out about them when a Bride that I was working with used them. I only had second hand knowledge of them but figured I would try them out personally. I needed a beach wheelchair for my dad, they made the experience so easy I thought I forgot to confirm them when I booked them like 5 months in advance. I reached out day before to confirm we were still good and we were! We confirmed the meeting time at the beach access. Day of they arrived ON TIME as scheduled and would you believe.. I was not available ( I was taking get ready pictures for my nephews wedding and the Bride & Groom were running about 30 minutes behind)... I apologized and asked if there was a way for him to leave it for me and he said YES! He locked it up and sent the combination to the lock. Ya'll I had not even had a chance to pay him yet! When I say they FAR exceeded my expectations, I mean they FAR exceeded my expectations. I will be using them again! Kind, professional & very accomodating!

I must say, I am completely baffled on how Boat Charter Destin has such a high rating as our family…read morevacation experience was a complete disappointment and a waste of our hard earned money. I am not one to post negative reviews, however this experience warrants it. I will add that I e-mailed the charter in an effort to address our experience and they have opted to not respond so I am happy to share our negative experience publicly. Funny how they respond quickly when you are booking a trip, but fail to respond if there is an issue to be addressed post trip. Our trip was scheduled to depart at 7am, however the boat was not prepared for departure and we did not get under way until 7:52am. Our Captain (Jeff) did not have the boat fueled, he did not have ice, nor bait ready for our trip. While "fueling" the boat, he managed to fill the fresh water tank reservoir with gasoline, requiring the marina to subsequently pump the gasoline out before we could depart. Obviously this did not instill confidence as to the captains boating capabilities or familiarity with the boat. Since we opted to place our personal possessions into the china toilet cabinet, all of our personal belongings ended up reeking of fuel vapors. After preparing the boat for our "fishing" trip, Jeff had to make yet an additional detour to obtain ice and bait for the trip. I will add he only obtained 20 bait fish for the entire trip. Knowing the complexity of the ocean and the likelihood that one will go through a lot of bait while trying to catch fish, why would you only get 20 baitfish and then put several of the baitfish on the hook in whole instead of preparing cut bait??? Being an avid fisherman, it is important to match bait size to hook size. If the fish are stealing the bait, put smaller pieces of the bait on the circle hooks so they can't just rip it off and they have to actually take the bait....or switch to J hooks. Now that we have finally spent an hour and a half of our morning anxiously awaiting for Jeff to have the boat ready for the fishing trip, we finally get under way. After getting to our first fishing spot, Jeff informed us we would be using three rods for our four person fishing trip until he got us on some fish.....which never happened. Since the captain invested in cheap fishing gear, there was an issue with one of the reels while attempting to land a fish and we only "fished" with three rods for the remainder of the trip. Should have been more prepared for this I would think. Without exaggeration, we literally had our lines wet and in the water for less than 30 minutes for the entire five hour "fishing" trip. In full disclosure, there were dolphins following the boat and made fishing a bit more difficult. Jeff would put us on a spot and we would drop our lines a couple times and we would again move to a new location which could take an extensive amount of time. We literally fished 4 spots the entire trip and I am not exaggerating when I say we only had our lines in the water for 30 minutes total. This is unacceptable! I hope anyone who takes the time to read our review will not have the same negative experience we did. Since we reside in Texas, we based our decision to use this charter after reading the posted reviews. We now realize our experience did not mimic that of others. You would think the charter would want to address our experience, but it seems they got their money and they are moving on to the next. I wish future customers the best!
