This was such a special experience and Lance (our captain) was the absolute BEST!!!! He was so intentional with conversation and super knowledgeable on all things sailing, ocean life, and first aid! If you ever get the chance to hop on the boat, you’ll even get to meet and love on sweet Harper (the boats personal pup)❤️
Our time on the Azul, with Lance as our captain, was the most phenomenal experience. I’ve been on boat rides before, but this was truly a luxury experience. Lance’s attention to detail & our preferences made the trip: he noticed when we had trash & offered to pick it up so we didn’t have to stop enjoying our meal, he suggested multiple places to take us & gave us great information about each spot, & he took pictures for us too! His dog harper joined us on the boat; I’m not normally a dog person, but this dog is the most calm & sweet natured dog. When we got home, my friends said it was a “life changing” because it was that incredible. A 10/10 experience!!!
Lance was wonderful! He was friendly, experienced, and truly went above and beyond! Highly recommend!
Lance is absolutely amazing and I’ve never experienced better customer service! Harper made my day as well
Captain Lance is the most amazing tour Captain. He is so accommodating and knowledgeable, he knows his job inside and out. He treated us like royalty and waited on us hand and foot, didn’t let us get our own drinks, etc. Due to his experience, we felt very safe and secure in every aspect of our tour. We loved having Harper as our First Mate, she was so cuddly and knew how to make us comfortable. We are going to book Capt. Lance and Harper again for next year, the BEST EVER!
Lance was super professional and laid back. Would definitely recommend.
We came with all generations on our trip and Captain Lance was amazing. He made us feel so safe with his knowledge and experience. He was incredibly kind, accommodating, and a joy to adventure with! We loved spending the afternoon with him and Harper and cannot wait to book with them again!
We had an amazing time on our boat cruise! Lance made us feel safe, comfortable and accommodated our needs the whole day! 10/10 recommend!
Our Captain, Taylor, was the best captain for our crew. He was fun, attentive, willing to do what we wanted and made sure we didn’t lift a finger. The ride to Crab Island was rough but Taylor made sure he went a good speed and stopped for us as needed.The water at crab island is incredible and he got us the perfect spot to bask and swim around.The bride in our group said “this is the best day of my life.”I’d say that says it all…Thanks for the thrills Captain Taylor!!
We had a wonderful day on the water despite the weather being cold. Captain Lance did a wonderful job of keeping us entertained and informed. We did not get to get in the water at Crab Island but we enjoyed bar hoping on the inlet and getting to see some great spots that Destin had to offer. We will be back again next year and look forward to hanging out with Captain Lance again on the beautiful waters of Destin!
Highlight of our trip! Captain Lance was super fun and accommodating (and had the cutest furry first mate, pictured below!). We took a trip to Crab Island and the Destin boardwalk. Couldn’t recommend this company enough – we will absolutely be booking with them again next time.
Captain Lance and his first mate Harper made our boys boat trip an AMAZING experience. Lance was such an awesome and energetic guy who took us to great spots and had some great stories to go along as well. 100% recommend captain Lance and Harper for your next Crab Island boat excursion!!!!
Captain Lance was great! I don’t think my group could have had a better experience. I would recommend a day out with Captain lance to anyone wanting a great day on the water.
Awesome boat and captain. We had a great time! Plus there was a cute boat dog..
If I could give Captian Lance 100 stars I would, he made everything so fun and easy for myself and my girls. The boat was beautiful and clean. Would recommend
Captain Lance made the experience worth every penny. He was very informative and we got a dolphin experience we will never forget. Our entire family will definitely be back to do this again.
Amazing time!! More accommodating than you could possibly imagine. Captain Lance made our trip the best experience ever!! Great memories were made!! Highly recommend!! ❤️
This was definitely the highlight of our trip! Captain Lance and his co-captain Harper were AMAZING! Memories to last a lifetime, I highly recommend!
My family and the friends we were with have chartered boats in many places and this was the best experience we have ever had. Lance is an amazing boat captain. On top of being extremely professional and knowledgeable of his craft, his familiarity with the area, its sites, and it’s people is incredible, and he is a great guy to spend a day with (also his dog Harper – ruff Harper). We took a really nice pontoon boat to the Destin hot spots and loved the day so much that we did it again 2 days later. Those two days were the highlight of a really great trip. Thanks Lance – we look forward to boating with you again.
Where do I start…….we booked Capt. Lance for two days between two weeks.The first day, the weather didn’t cooperate, but Capt. Lance and his assistant Harper made the best of it for the kiddos in our group and they loved the small beach he took us too.Capt. Lance made sure our kiddos weren’t left out and had fun.Because of the bad weather, our trip was cut short but it was truly enjoyable with the time we had.The second day was better (just me and my husband) the weather was great and Capt. Lance ventured out to places we hadn’t seen before. He made it a point to stop and show us the dolphins, sharks and a few sea turtles.He shared his knowledge of marine life and the different areas he had taken us too.This was definitely the best boat trip we had.I’d say, Capt. Lance and Harper are the best!If you truly want a great experience, Capt. Lance is the best. He communicates, shares information, has a great attitude and wants to know what “you” wanna do on your boat trip. He makes great suggestions and listens…….then makes it happen!!!We will surely book again.
I recently had the pleasure of going on a boat trip with Captain Lance and his co-captain Harper, and I must say it was an incredible experience. We were a group of 12 crazy women, and Captain Lance displayed remarkable patience in dealing with the chaos that naturally comes with such a large group. From the moment we stepped on the boat, he ensured that safety was the top priority, which put us at ease right away.One aspect that stood out during our trip was Captain Lance’s extensive knowledge about the water and its marine life. He took the time to educate us about the different species we encountered, making the trip not only enjoyable but also highly educational. We were shown around the top spots, and he knew exactly where to take us for the best experiences.Another thing that impressed us was Captain Lance’s attentiveness to each and every one of us. With 12 women on board, it could have been easy to lose track, but he made it a point to watch over us diligently, ensuring our safety at all times. If any of us wandered off, he would pull the boat to us, going above and beyond to make sure we were always accounted for.In addition to his professionalism and focus on safety, Captain Lance was incredibly accommodating to our needs. He listened to our requests and made sure they were met, making the whole experience personalized and tailored to our preferences. But it wasn’t all serious business; Captain Lance had a fantastic sense of humor and brought a ton of fun to our day. He made the entire trip even more exciting with his enthusiasm and lighthearted approach.We enjoyed our time with Captain Lance and Harper so much that we decided to book a second day with them. The rapport we developed with them was truly special, and it felt like we gained not only experienced captains but also lifelong friends. Their genuine care for our enjoyment and safety made a significant impact on our overall experience.I highly recommend Captain Lance and Harper to anyone looking for an unforgettable boating adventure. They excel in every aspect, from their professionalism and expertise to their fun-loving nature and dedication to their passengers’ well-being. Thank you, Captain Lance and Harper, for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
We had a large group of 24 (12 kids 12 adults) & Nathan helped me book 2 boats for our adventure to Crab Island. Well the day came and the weather was not perfect but cold and rainy. So thanks to our two awesome Captains, Lance & Taylor, the day was not wasted and the adventure was so much fun! They made a rainy day into a great day! We saw crab island, private beaches and so many dolphins. We had a tour and got tshirts. The children and adults all had a great time! We made great memories and can’t wait to come back and see Crab Island with Captain Lance and Captain Taylor! Great guys and great adventure! Thanks!
