Destin Tiki Cruise to Crab Island
A Destin tiki cruise is a different animal from a regular boat rental. You get a licensed captain, a covered tiki boat with shaded seating, and a slow run down the harbor to Crab Island with nothing on the schedule but a good time. No boating license, no driving, no docking — just step aboard and let someone else handle the water.
Our tiki cruise in Destin gives you time to swim, float and enjoy the sandbar, with a lily pad and water toys shared on the trip. Bottled water, life vests and restroom access come included. Bring your own snacks and a small soft-sided cooler with drinks — just skip the glass — and the captain will find you the right spot on the water.
Whether you are planning a birthday, a bachelorette weekend, a family reunion or just an afternoon that beats sitting on the beach, a Destin tiki boat cruise turns an ordinary day into the one everyone talks about on the drive home.
