EXCELLENT Based on 78 reviews Jill Shegos2024-08-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Lance Semôn was great! He made the whole day a top notch experience. We had a big group and he took great care of us. He went above and beyond to adjust the plan around bad weather to ensure we had the best day. Highly recommend Crab Island Luxury rentals with Lance as your Captain!!! James Parker2024-08-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The cat we bareboat chartered had mechanical difficulties that morning but Crab Island Luxury Adventures made it right with a substitute craft. Captain Taylor was a great host and highly knowledgeable about the area. He showed our group the sights and plenty of fun was had by all. Next time we charter the Emerald Coast we will do it with Taylor and Crab Island Luxury Adventures. Clay Ellis2024-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
