PRIVATE CRAB ISLAND CHARTERS FOR ALYS BEACH GUESTS

A More Refined Crab Island Experience

For guests looking for something beyond a standard pontoon rental.

COMFORT. SPACE. SIMPLICITY.

Designed For Guests Who Want More Than A Pontoon

Our catamarans offer a more comfortable way to spend the day with:

  • Private charter experience
  • Room for up to 13 guests
  • Restroom onboard
  • Large shaded seating areas
  • Premium floating docks and water toys
  • Professional captains familiar with Crab Island
  • Located at Baytowne Marina, we are the closest departure for 30A and Alys Beach guests to explore the Emerald Coast.

A DAY THAT FEELS EFFORTLESS

SETTLE IN, SPREAD OUT, AND ENJOY THE WATER

From the moment you leave Baytowne Marina, the day is designed to feel simple. Bring your favorite drinks, choose your add-ons, and let your captain guide the experience; whether that means heading to Crab Island or exploring other destinations along the coast, weather permitting.

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.
