Cruise Destin’s bay, watch for dolphins, and enjoy a lily pad, paddleboard, and music aboard a spacious pontoon with your group.

About this tour

Set out across Destin’s bay on a spacious pontoon, with the Emerald Coast’s bright waters all around you and the chance to spot dolphins along the way. This four-hour Destin Crab Island cruise gives your group room to unwind, play, and enjoy the water at your own pace.

Your captain chooses a spot to make the most of your outing, then sets out the lily pad and paddleboard for time in the water. Prefer a change of scenery? Ask about a scenic cruise through Destin Harbor or a move to a calmer, more private area around Crab Island. Back on board, play your favorite music through the Bluetooth JBL PartyBox speaker and bring your own snacks and drinks. A cooler and beer pong mat are also provided.

The pontoon suits family gatherings, birthdays, and bachelorette parties, with space for up to 10 passengers plus the captain. Glass objects are not allowed. The $180 captain’s fee is paid separately at the marina, and parking costs $15 per vehicle; ice is available upon request for an additional charge. Book your Destin Crab Island cruise and make a day of the coast with your crew.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 16 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Destin
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.9. Top 20% in Destin means it ranks in the top 20% of tours in Destin by this score.
