About the experience

This private captained boat rental is one of the easiest (and most fun) ways for families to experience Destin’s emerald waters—especially with kids. From the moment you step on board, your licensed captain handles everything, so you can truly relax instead of worrying about navigation, safety, or planning the perfect route.

This boat is set up for easy, laid-back fun, featuring a large inflatable floating water mat that kids (and adults) absolutely love. It’s perfect for lounging, swimming, and letting little ones play safely while you stay close by. Your captain knows the best family-friendly spots, from calm waters for dolphin sightings to shallow areas near Crab Island where everyone can float, swim, and unwind.

You’re welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks—we’ll provide the cooler, ice, and all required safety gear. Most families enjoy splitting their time between cruising the harbor, spotting dolphins, and relaxing at Crab Island, where the floating mat becomes the hub for fun while parents enjoy peace of mind.

If you’re looking for a stress-free, family-friendly Destin boat rental that focuses on comfort, safety, and quality time on the water, this 6-person captained boat is a perfect choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Since we are a seasonal business, all bookings are subject to a strict 7-day cancellation policy. The charge will not be refunded if you cancel within 7-days of your cruise. Trips may be rescheduled, but are subject to availability. Cancellations within 7-days will not be refunded for any reason, including sudden illness or injury. Be prepared to lose your deposit if you do not show up for your cruise.

If the weather is unsafe and the Captain calls off the activity, the tour may be rescheduled for a later time or a full refund will be issued. This decision is at the Captain’s discretion. Temperature, the color of the water, and overcast days do not apply to a weather-related cancelation.

This boat does not have a bathroom onboard, but the skipper is aware of the closest restrooms.

Yes, you are welcome to bring you favorite drinks, we have a cooler ready with ice! We just ask that you please do not bring glass bottles.

Absolutely! We will provide a cooler filled with ice and encourage you to fill it with your favorite food and drinks. Take full advantage of having a captain responsible for driving while you enjoy the day!

Yes. The United States Coast Guard counts every living, breathing person on the boat as a passenger on the vessel. We are legally only allowed to carry a certain number of total passengers (plus captain and crew).

Pack like you would when visiting the beach or pool. Towels, sunscreen, swimsuits, coverups, drinks, snacks, water games, and floats are all recommended. You may also want to bring cash for Crab Island vendors if you would like to use their services, and gratuity for captain and crew (optional, but customary and appreciated!).

Although it is extremely rare not to see dolphins on a cruise, it happens occasionally. Dolphins are wild animals. Some days they are shy, some days they are off following the food, some days they are simply hard to find. We spend every day on the water, which allows us to know their favorite spots and their habits according to the time of day. Dolphins love to keep us on our toes, but we always make a valiant effort trying to find them!
