Overview

Join us for a Crab Island Adventure, where our captain and crew bring the energy for a relaxed, fun-filled day on the water! You’ll go on a 5 minute boat ride to one of the area’s most popular destinations where you can kick back and enjoy a three-hour trip! Just sit back and relax with no hassle of renting your own boat! Crab Island’s name might be a bit misleading. It is not an actual island, it’s nothing more than a raised sandbar where hundreds of boats gather during the warmer months to enjoy the shallow emerald green waters. You will find mobile food boats and floating restaurants – providing everything from ice cream, BBQ, to coconuts!

To guarantee everyone is on the same boat, please make one reservation for your entire group.

    What To Expect

    How Long Will You Be Out?
    - We’re talking about 2 to 3 hours of island vibes, swimming, floating, and good times—enough to unwind without feeling like you’re stuck all day. Perfect for a half-day escape from reality.

    Meet Your Dream Team
    - Our crew isn’t just about keeping you safe—they’re about turning up the fun dial. Certified, local experts who know every current and cove, they’ll guide you and share insider tips to make this day feel like your own private party on the water.

    Do You Need to Be a Swimmer?
    - Not at all. The water stays shallow, and there’s plenty of room to float, wade, or just hang out. Bring your best vibes and a readiness to relax—the rest is on us.
