- We recently booked a 4-hour private charter to Crab Island for our family of six (three adults and three kids ages 12, 9, and 7), and it was honestly the highlight of our entire vacation! From start to finish, the customer service was exceptional — clear communication, easy booking, and everything was handled professionally and with a friendly touch. Captain Wyatt was incredible! Not only was he knowledgeable and experienced, but he was also super friendly, patient with our kids, and just an all-around great guide. He made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun, and he had great recommendations for where to anchor and explore. Our kids were talking about him the entire rest of the day — he really made them feel special and safe, which as a parent means everything. The boat was clean, spacious, and perfect for relaxing or playing in the water. We had music, floats, and plenty of space to hang out, snack, and enjoy the beautiful views. The entire trip felt relaxed, personal, and exactly what we needed. If you’re looking for a stress-free, family-friendly, and memorable trip to Crab Island, don’t think twice — book this charter and ask for Captain Wyatt! We’ll definitely be coming back next year.

FUN in CRAB ISLAND! - I rated the experience a 4Star as the boat had 2 paddleboards, but only 1 paddle. We had 2 kids, and they had to take turns paddling. It was NOT the captain's fault as he was standing in for another captain. Captain Mark Bammann was amazing, and very knowledgeable. He was very cordial and professional. Overall, we had a really nice time.
