The GOAT of Crab Island - Great trip out & our captain Jake was awesome. He hung out, got pictures of us & even played catch with our son in the water. He was professional yet laid back. We enjoyed chatting with him & will definitely book again on our next trip!

Dalton - Dalton was great! He made sure we were taken care of, kept our glasses full, and even soaked up some sun with us. We enjoyed his energy and he felt like a part of the group and kept us all safe.

Unexpected fee… - It was overall a great experience. I did not notice when I booked if it mentioned that we would need to pay the captain separately when we got to the boat. Also, the accessories on the boat were nice but not exactly like the picture. I’m not sure if there is any way to be more specific. I had really been drawn to the colors and the type of floats that were listed. Instead we got 2 paddle boards and a lily pad. Again, overall the kids had a great time and our captain Ben was wonderful.
