From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captain Brad made us feel welcome and ensured we had an incredible day on the water. He was friendly, professional, and fun! We never felt rushed and were able to relax, swim, float, and enjoy the beautiful emerald water at our own pace. Brad made the entire experience easy and stress-free, taking care of everything so we could simply enjoy the day. His local knowledge, laid-back personality, and attention to detail made the trip even better than we expected. Whether you're visiting Destin for the first time or you've been before, a day on the water with Captain Brad is an absolute must. We couldn't have asked for a better captain or a more fun day. Highly recommend booking with Champagne Charters - we'll definitely be back the next time we're in Destin!

This time around we were helped by Parker and Dalton who were both very experienced, knowledgeable, and relatable. Parker even gave us recommendations for food and local spots that tourists don't usually get to visit.

I love this company and I will be returning ANY time I need to rent watersports equipment.

Extremely disappointing experience. Crab Island was one of the MAIN reasons I came to Destin, and I…read morebooked this excursion specifically to experience it before leaving town. The first day was absolutely beautiful outside, and our trip was still canceled because they said there weren't enough people booked. What made that even more frustrating is that this company had my money for a week in advance, so this was not a last-minute booking. We were asked to reschedule for the following day, so we agreed and rearranged our plans. Then on the second day, the excursion was canceled again, this time because of the weather. I completely understand that weather is out of anyone's control and safety comes first, but that is exactly why the first cancellation was so upsetting. We had a beautiful day and could have gone, but the trip was canceled because of low participation. Then when we came back the next day as requested, the weather prevented us from going at all. To make matters worse, before agreeing to come back the next day, we specifically asked about the weather. I even showed concern because my weather app was already calling for thunderstorms and rain. Natalia insisted it would only rain in the morning and reassured us that our excursion would still be ready to go out later that day. Based on that reassurance, we agreed to reschedule. Then the next day, exactly what I was concerned about happened the excursion was canceled because of the weather. That made the situation even more frustrating because had we been given realistic information instead of being reassured that the weather wouldn't affect our trip, we could have made a different decision with the little vacation time we had left. Instead, we lost the beautiful-weather day because they didn't have enough people, then lost the following day to weather we had already asked them about. The customer service also made the situation worse. Natalia was rude and dismissive when we were already disappointed after having our plans canceled. I dealt with Gavin the next day , and he was a little more helpful and professional than Natalia, which I appreciated, but by that point the damage was already done. And then there was the refund process. You would think that after they canceled the excursion, the refund would be automatic. It wasn't. I had to make multiple calls and go through a third-party company just to get my own money refunded. It took me over an hour to finally get the refund processed, and now I still have to wait 5-7 business days for the money to come back. So not only did I miss out on Crab Island, I had to spend part of my vacation chasing down a refund for a service the company canceled. I'm leaving Destin without getting to experience Crab Island at all, which was something I was genuinely looking forward to and a major part of this trip. Things happen, but when a company has your money in advance, cancels your reservation, and then makes you jump through hoops to get refunded, that is unacceptable. I would not book with this company again.

He was very nice, upbeat and relaxed personality while still giving you confidence that he had everything under control.
