GEMINI CATAMARAN

PRIVATE CATAMARAN CHARTERS

STEP ABOARD YOUR PRIVATE CATAMARAN

More room to spread out, more ways to enjoy the water and a private space for your group to spend the day together at Crab Island.

THE CATAMARAN EXPERIENCE

ROOM TO REALLY
SETTLE IN

A catamaran gives your group something a smaller boat can’t: room to spread out without spending the day apart.

 

Settle into the shade, stretch out in the sun, grab a drink or move around the boat as the day unfolds. There’s space to be together without everyone having to sit in the same place.

YOUR CRAB ISLAND CHARTER

WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR DAY

Your catamaran day begins with a scenic cruise across Choctawhatchee Bay. Crab Island is approximately 45 minutes from Baytowne Marina, giving you time to settle in, enjoy the boat and take in the bay along the way.

 

Four hours works well for a classic Crab Island experience. Choose six or eight when you want more time at anchor, more time to explore and a day that feels a little less hurried.

Estimated totals cover boat, captain and fuel, plus tax on boat rental. Gratuity not included. Save 10% on Mon–Wed charters → · Compare all boats and trip lengths →

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.
