So you want to go to Crab Island Destin! You’ve booked a trip to Destin or nearby Fort Walton Beach, Navarre or Pensacola and you’d like to visit world renown Crab Island. If it’s your first time though, you probably have a few questions….

Is it an Island?

Nope, Crab Island is actually a sandbar! Getting there requires a water vessel of some kind. Pontoons are the ultimate way to safely get to and stay at crab island.

Are there vendors and attractions out there?

YES! There are a few floating restaurants and vendors via boat that come around serving everything from hot boiled peanuts (a southern favorite), wild coconuts & fruit bowls, ice cream and much more!

How do you get to Crab Island Destin?

The only possible way is by watercraft. The safest and best option is a pontoon if you are renting and don’t own your own watercraft. Some individuals take Jet Skis but it’s hard to tie them off and enjoy the activities at Crab Island. You must have a water vessel at crab island at all times while you are there. It is neither legal nor safe to be dropped off at the sandbar by water taxi or any other services. Renting a pontoon from us ensures you always have a vessel that is safe, can store your belongings and return you safely to shore in event of sudden storm or accident.

Call us to book your pontoon today: 850-714-3938

Do you train us to drive the pontoon?

Yes! Our team will give you instructions to operate the pontoon and help you at the dock. The ride from our dock to Crab Island Destin is a straight shot and not far at all so you can be confident that you won’t be navigating through tight canals or shallow waterways (until you get to Crab Island of course).

You will designate one or several drivers to captain your pontoon. They will need a valid ID and will have to take the Florida Boaters Certificate here.

What should we bring to Crab Island Destin?

Perfect question!

• Zip Lock Bags or dry bags for phones, wallets or anything you don’t want to get wet
• Sunscreen
• Drinks in aluminum cans (NO GLASS)
• Coolers
• Inflatable pool toys or beach balls
• Towels
• Bluetooth speakers (The boats have speakers but storms and salt water often put strain on them causing malfunction)

**SPECIAL NOTE – your phone may be waterproof but it’s NOT SALT WATERPROOF so rinse your phone in tab water and clean it up. Salt water kills charge ports! Same goes for all electronics you take into the bay or the gulf.
