He even radioed a friend and got us to see a dolphin! He was incredibly accommodating to us on the boat and made us feel right at home. He had all the right connections too and was able to get us food and fun things like coconuts drinks. He was very nice, upbeat and relaxed personality while still giving you confidence that he had everything under control. After going to crab island I can see that booking with a captain like Robbie verses renting a boat on our own was 100% the way to go.

The captains are licensed, extremely knowledgeable about the area, entertaining, and truly care about their guests. They can carry up to 18 people in a group which most boats can't do. They also have a bathroom on board. They can arrange transportation to and from your condo and even a delicious charcuterie board. They have charters from 3-6 hours and sunset too.

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!!!

Another great feature that they offered is that they took pictures of us all day long and put them a document so we can all receive them and being in the water having someone else being in charge of the camera was awesome! Definitely recommend using Destin private tiki for anybody!

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.

This is not the company's rule, it's a law! The make it explicitly clear on check in and definitely check your card before allowing you on the tour! We were in a group of about 8 jet skis and had a great time. We saw dolphins right off the bat, which was amazing! Our guide then took us out into open water and let us play around and drive freely for awhile. We then drove through the crowd of Crab Island to get a little taste of that party. My only complaint is that I wish we didn't do the Crab Island drive through and spent more time playing and having fun in the open water on the jet ski's. Our tour guides were great and took plenty of photos that they air dropped to us when we returned! The bathrooms aren't pretty, but they are available. There's also bookshelf style cubbies to store anything you don't want to take out onto the water with you.

Told us we would have to "jiggle" the key until it caught in the ignition if we wanted to start it. About 5 minutes into the drive one of the doors fell off as well. After we had docked and tried to move to a different location we could not get the boat started, then the key proceeded to break off in the ignition. We tried 3 times to call and no one answered so we had to somehow get it started. Took it back to try and reason with them but they did nothing but accuse us of damaging the boat. Only used the boat for 3 hours of our full day and they said they would let us use another boat to finish the day only if they had one available but didn't offer to give us money back and charged us an extra $100 on top of our reservation for the broken key that "wasn't covered under the damage protection" that we paid extra for. Manager was incredibly rude and would not even be somewhat reasonable with us. Would not go back, would give 0 stars if possible.

The weather, the tour guides, and the boat were all spot on. The boat had a restroom (it was clean), free floats to use and drinks for purchase. They guides were just right and the music was perfect and not too loud. We saw several dolphins and a huge stingray.
