Caitlyn Nicole2024-03-20We had a great time! Lance was our captain and was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and was easy to work with. He kept us safe while allowing us the freedom to decide if we wanted to be beached, floating at Crab Island or at a restaurant. We got to see dolphins by the dozen playing in the ocean for 20 minutes on our way in. It was amazing! I would definitely use Crab Island Luxury Adventures again and would recommend Captain Lance to anyone! :)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
