Book your boat trip, it won’t disappoint! So much fun! - This truly was the highlight of our vacation, we had such an amazing time with memories to last a lifetime. We had Captain Mike he was very informative and fun to have with us, he was on point taking us to see sharks and dolphins. He then took us by crab island making our way to a quiet beach for us to swim, and he even gave us a quick paddle board lesson. Thank you so much for this incredible experience!!

WOW! The best time on the water! - WOW!! Hands down the best time ever on the water in Destin!
We had the most amazing and memorable time with Captain Scott! We are local and normally rent a pontoon when family is in town. This time we decided to go on this private dolphin and snorkel tour… and all I can say is we will do this excursion every time we want to do a crab island day!
Captain Scott made it so much more than what we ever did on our own! He took us to go scout for dolphin and sharks. Then took us snorkeling at a spot only locals would know. We ended the trip at crab island and had the best time! Captain Scott now feels like part of the family! Book this excursion asap!

Boats, Bubbles & Bay Views: Our Destin Adventure with Captain Scott - We had the best time on a private boat tour with Captain Scott! He took us around the bay, through Destin Harbor, and down the canals—we even spotted sharks. At Crab Island, he set up a giant floaty, had a paddleboard ready, and a cooler full of ice for our Prosecco and beer. We relaxed, soaked up the sun, and loved every minute. Captain Scott was super informative and shared great dinner tips too. This was a highlight of our trip and a must-do when visiting the Destin area!

Kid friendly. Great captains. Lots of dolphins. Tons of great memories! - The boat ride was great! Our captain, Taylor, was amazing and very educated! We had a 3 year old and 6 year old with us. He found very shallow water that had minimum waves for the kids to play in. The views were beautiful and we got to see tons of dolphins. We had a blast. Highly recommend this boat tour to anyone, you won’t regret it!

Fun way to spend the day! - Captain Scott was great! I booked a 4hr trip for 4ppl. I had a hiccup with the reservation & needed to make a change, he was very easy to communicate with & made things as seamless as possible. My kids (16, 20, 22) had a blast! We saw dolphins, a huge sea turtle, & snorkeled with a lot of various fish. Crab Island was a great way to relax & we would definitely go on this trip again!

Private boat for the win! - This was my kids favorite! Aiden did such an awesome job of making our kids feel comfortable. He was always asking us if we needed anything or if we were doing ok. I highly recommend this private outing!

Outstanding Private Family Boat Experience in Destin! - Outstanding! If you are looking for a private family boat experience in Destin, this is the place. I was looking for a boat tour for a family of 6 (kids 15, 12, 7, & 5 yrs). I didn't want a big party boat or to be with a big group, and my search led to Destin Costal Adventures. "Tour" doesn't do this experience justice. Scott was amazing from the moment I reached out. We started with a very considered and thought-out itinerary based on our initial conversation. Scott is extremely knowledgable about Destin and the waterways and provided a really great backdrop for our adventure. He was very attentive and made sure the whole family (super helpful with the littlest ones) was having a great time. Our trip included some amazing dolphin encounters, snorkeling, sea shell hunting, and lots of sea life spotting and learning. This was the highlight of our beach vacation (really, I asked the kids). If you want to break up the beach days with a truly great experience, this is the place, Scott is your guy.
