We go through the East pass on our way to the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico and then spend the remainder of the day on Crab Island. Tours are a minimum of 2 hours, but extensions can be arranged subject to availability. If spending time on Crab Island is the main goal we highly recommend the 4 hour cruise. Nobody has ever wanted to come in early. Come join us and get an up close view of these majestic creatures!

These tours are only available Thursday nights and holiday weekends during the summer and are accompanied with a sunset cruise for a truly unforgettable evening.

MEET THE CAPTAIN
In 1984 Captain Wayne Burnette was asked to accompany his grandfather on a trip to the Emerald Coast and needless to say, it was love at first site. To date, he claims that it was one of the best invitations of his life. It shaped who he is, what he does, and where he lives.
Fast forward 30 years and Wayne is a proud resident of Destin, Florida, sharing his vast knowledge of the area with his customers. This includes everything from where to eat, what to do and even a little Destin history.
Before becoming a Captain, Wayne owned a limousine business for roughly two decades meaning he’s no stranger to customer service. Keep that in mind when you speak to him about reserving a date. He’ll do his very best to meet your needs and exceed your expectations. But don’t just take our word for it; click here to see what his customers have to say!
