 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give this experience more than five stars, I absolutely would. From start to finish, this was one of the best boat cruises my family and I have ever been on. The boat was exactly as advertised—spotless, well-maintained, and clearly cared for. The attention to detail immediately stood out and set the tone for an exceptional experience. What truly made this trip unforgettable, however, was Captain Jeffrey Kelly and his deckhand, Ken. In my line of work, I’m naturally cautious and don’t easily place my trust in others, especially when my family’s safety is involved. From the moment they introduced themselves, their genuine personalities, Southern hospitality, and professionalism immediately put us at ease. They were knowledgeable, personable, and made the entire trip feel relaxed, enjoyable, and effortless. By the end of the cruise, it felt less like we had hired a charter and more like we had spent the day with good friends. My family enjoyed every minute of the experience, and when we return, there is no question who we’ll be calling. Captain Jeffrey Kelly and Ken exceeded every expectation and made this a trip we’ll be talking about for years to come. I cannot recommend them enough. My little girls also said this was the best day ever and told me how much they enjoyed them. As a parent, it made it worth every penny.

How do you get to Crab Island from 30A?

The easiest way to reach Crab Island from 30A is by boat. Our private charters depart from nearby Miramar Beach, just a short drive from Rosemary Beach, Seaside, Alys Beach, and other 30A communities.

Do your charters include a captain?

As a bareboat charter, Coast Guard rules require the charterer (you) to select and pay the captain’s fee directly to the captain. For your convenience, we list the total estimated out-of-pocket costs on our website so you know what to expect. After booking, you’ll receive a list of captains familiar with our vessels; each is highly experienced and great with groups.

Do your boats have a restroom onboard?

Yes. The catamarans and Sea Ray have a head/toilet, similar to an airplane restroom.

Pontoon boats do not have a restroom.

What is the maximum number of passengers?

You may have 13 passengers total (you + 12 guests).

Can we bring food, snacks, or drinks on the boat?

Definitely! Bring all the food, snacks, and drinks you want. We’ve provide large coolers filled with ice, and catering is also available for catamaran charters.
For safety, please use plastic bottles or containers; no glass on the boat.

Can we bring alcohol on the boat?

Yes. Feel free to bring alcoholic beverages for those 21 years of age or older. (Wine & alcohol bottles are acceptable but cannot be removed from the boat per Coast Guard law).

Does Crab Island Luxury Adventures provide snorkeling equipment?

Yes. Snorkeling gear is included with our Family Escape Premium Add-On Package, making it easy for families to enjoy the clear waters around Crab Island without needing to bring or purchase their own equipment. Availability may vary for other charter experiences, so please check your package details or contact us with any questions
