Frequently Asked Questions
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 have a head/toilet, similar to an airplane restroom.
What is the maximum number of passengers?
You may have 13 passengers total (you + 12 guests).
The captain and crew are not included in that number.
Can we bring food, snacks, or drinks on the boat?
Definitely! Bring all the food, snacks, and drinks you want. We’ve got three large coolers filled with ice, and catering is also available through our menu.
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).
Where do we go on the charters?
Crab Island, beach hopping, waterfront restaurants—you choose. As a bareboat charter, the boat is yours for the day, and your captain can help plan the perfect route based on what your group wants.
Does Crab Island Luxury Adventures provide snorkeling equipment?
We don’t offer snorkeling gear onboard, so if you want to snorkel, just bring your own equipment.

What is your cancellation policy?
- Crab Island Luxury Adventures reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any charter due to inclement weather or any other case of inability to provide the tour.
- Full refunds are only available with at least 72 hours written advanced notice.
- Any necessary cancellations MUST be made in writing and given at least 72 hours prior to the tour; otherwise, the full price will be charged.
- Partial or no refunds in the form of a credit will be issued at Crab Island Luxury Adventures’ discretion if less than 72 hours of written notice is given.

Are there life jackets on the boat?
Yes, there are Coast Guard-required life jackets on our boats. If you have small children, you may want to bring your own life jacket, as all children 8 and under are legally required to wear a life jacket while on the boat. The Coast Guard-approved ones may not be the most comfortable for small children.
How much should I tip the captain and crew?
Your crew works very hard to make sure you have an enjoyable and safe experience on the water. A 20% tip is the minimum amount suggested.
