Crab Island Cruises In Destin Florida

When you’re visiting Destin, Florida, checking out Crab Island is an absolute must. This unique location has been featured in magazines, publications, and Good Morning America! If you’re looking to see it for yourself, Wet-N-Wild Watersports will help you get there.

Crab Island lies along the East Pass, along the Destin Bridge, at the outlet of the Choctawhatchee Bay into the Gulf of Mexico. At one time, Crab Island was two islands made by the sand that the Army Corps of Engineers had dredged up to clear the East Pass, and sustained sea grass, shrubs, and nesting sea birds. Over time, though, the area has been eroded to a sandbar, which is a popular anchorage off the coast of Destin. If you’re looking for fun, you’ll find it at Crab Island.

You need a boat to get to Crab Island. The distance from shore to the sandbar is too far to safely swim, and the water around the sandbar is quite deep. There’s a steady steam of boat traffic to and from the Island, which also makes trying to swim to the sandbar dangerous.

Whether you’re looking for one of our guided tours, or want to captain the boat yourself, Wet-N-Wild Watersports will make sure you see all the Crab Island fun you can stand. Our experienced staff are locals, so they can tell you what you need to know about navigating Crab Island, whether you’re looking for a party, or a place to splash and play with family. At low tide, the water is about waist high on adults; at high tide, the water is clear and the scene is festive.

You can swim and splash in the water, or you can check out the Crab Island Waterpark, made up of huge inflatable slides, trampolines, balance beams, swings, and an obstacle course. You can watch your kids have a blast while you relax, or join them in the fun. If you’re looking for a lazy day of relaxation, you can make that happen too. Grab a snack from a floating food vendor—they offer sandwiches, ice cream, boiled peanuts, drinks, and more.

Need to add a few supplies before you head out fishing? The Destin Ice & Tackle store has what you need. Tackle, live or frozen bait, and convenience items are available for purchase.

Want to get in some snorkeling? Crab Island is a great place to do It. Reef fish cut through the water in colorful flashes while the warm sun and joyful crowd set the mood for a perfect vacation day out on the water. Bring an underwater camera to capture some gorgeous snapshots that your family will love to see!

You can even catch a show out on the water, as various musicians and performances go on throughout the summer.
