We bought our own beer and the cooler on board was huge and stocked with a ton of ice. No restroom on board but Cameron made a stop when we needed one, it was very easy. Absolutely the most relaxing way to spend an afternoon! Highly recommended!

From my Google Review from last August (2025):…read more A fun time with a group of friends and worry free cruise to hang out at Crab Island for a couple solid hours. About a 15 minute cruise each way. I recommend the morning charter. It gets crazy and packed as the day goes on, especially closer to noon. Will be going again with these guys!

We showed up early to grab a drink at the bar before heading out, which was definitely the right move. Our captain, Bailey, was fantastic--super friendly, gave us a quick rundown of everything, and then we were off. We cruised around the area before heading out to Crab Island to catch the sunset and keep an eye out for dolphins. The whole experience was exactly what we needed--relaxing, fun, and just an all-around great vibe. Good drinks, great company, and an incredible sunset. After the sun went down, we cruised back to the dock, already talking about doing it again with another group. 5/5 experience--highly recommend! If you book, call and ask for Bailey. They also offer daytime trips to Crab Island if that's more your speed. Pro tip: Parking is limited, so consider taking an Uber or Lyft.

Picture a neighborhood on the water oozing character and incredible sunsets. Incredible. Sunsets. Stop by the Dock Store during the day to get a drink for a dollar or 2 less than the Tiki Hut next door and wander the docks. If you happen to be lucky enough to be there for sunset, plan on posting up at one of the tables on the upstairs deck of Flippers Restaurant. Best sunset view around, hands down. Looking for an adventure? You'll find Wallace Boat Rentals, Sail the Daedalus & a couple Dolphin Cruise charters. Try out the Cold Mil Fleet if you're looking for the best $15 boat ride on the island. If you're expecting the yachtie crowd you're at the wrong place...you're looking for the Wharf, Barber's or Sportsman's. But to kick back and enjoy a drink with a more casual crowd, give Bear Point a shot.

They don't serve or sell. There's a bar at the landing that you can buy drinks to go at. There's a bathroom onboard, a Lilly pad and a floating pad... Do yourself a favor, hit up Alvin's emporium, you can buy 2 floating rafts and a hand pump for like $35. If you have kids it's a must. Had a great time, saw bat rays and some . Bring cash to tip the captain and crew. All the vendors take card. The BBQ boat turkey leg was fantastic. And the hat/t shirt vendors are affordable. Take this tour and be glad you did... it should be #1 on your list. Well worth the money!!!

We ended up being their last tour of the day but it was well worth it and all the girl's had so much fun! They took us out to the Dolphins, Crab Island and ended with a beautiful sunset. If you want a reliable tour company that will go out of their way to make sure you enjoy book with Destin Private Tiki!!! I highly recommend and will send all my family and friends to this company.
