Crab Island Adventures in Destin

Anchor up at Destin’s famous Crab Island sandbar, cruise the Emerald Coast, or make a day of both. Private yacht and boat charters on Florida’s Emerald Coast — built for your whole crew.

The Ultimate Crab Island Day Trip

Round up your crew — whether it’s the family, a few friends, or the whole group — and take over a private charter for the best day on the Emerald Coast.

We rent both spacious yachts and easygoing boats, so you can go all-out or keep it simple.

Our larger yachts come fully loaded: WiFi (for all the photos, obviously), A/C (because… it’s Destin, Florida), flat-screen TVs, two full bathrooms (a real game-changer with a group), and a stash of water toys for floating around in that famous crystal-clear Gulf water.

Prefer to keep things low-key? Our boats are a breezier, more laid-back way to get out on the water — same emerald Gulf, less to think about.

Either way, your charter is run by a U.S. Coast Guard–certified Captain, so all you have to do is show up, kick back, and soak in a day at Crab Island.

Yachts, Boats, Crab Island

Here’s the thing about Crab Island: it isn’t really an island at all… It’s a shallow, emerald-water sandbar tucked just off the Destin bridge — and the only way to get there is by boat.

That’s where we come in. Spend the day cruising the Gulf or drop anchor right in the middle of the action, with your captain handling all the driving and anchoring so you don’t have to think about a thing.

Picture crystal-clear water you can stand up in, food and drink boats floating by, and an easygoing party that runs all afternoon.

And yes — it’s BYOB. Bring the cooler, the koozies, and the playlist.

How Can I Get To Crab Island?

Short answer: by boat — and only by boat. Crab Island isn’t the kind of island you can drive to, walk to, or find a parking spot near. It’s a shallow, submerged sandbar sitting in the Choctawhatchee Bay, just north of the Marler Bridge (the big US-98 bridge you cross coming into Destin). There are no roads out to it, no docks, and no shortcuts. If you want to spend the day out there, you have to be on the water. That’s where Destin Dream Yachts can help!
