Fun July Day - Great Experience. Our captain was willing to not only take us to Crab Island but also gave us the option to split our time sightseeing. Very considerate, kind, and laid back. The boat was spacious and came with everything as described. Beautiful day. We experienced a morning season, which was still hot in mid-July; we would recommend the morning over the afternoon. Tons of jellyfish, crabs, and fish to see. This was a highlight of our visit. The time flew by, and tons of food, drink, and snack vendors were on the water with plenty of options. Will very likely rebook on our next visit.
