Exactly what we needed!
The girls and I needed a moment of relaxation and fun before the wedding! Harbor Lights Cruise was perfect! They provided Bluetooth for music, ice, cups, and a cooler! We brought our snacks and wine and had a time! Sam was a cool host! She sang along and embraced our bad sing along! I would certainly do this cruise again! It was nice and intimate with 6 friends! I appreciated the communications throughout the process from the company! Book’em!

Not a good experience because of rude captain
Our captain was not very friendly or personable. Not to me, anyway. If I asked him a question he’d ignore me. For whatever reason? I was super excited to visit Crab Island. It was something I was looking forward too. Something I’ve wanted to do for a few year’s. His attitude ruined the visit for me. I tipped him $80 anyway…just to show him although he was rude to me, I’m a better person than his rudeness and what he thought of me. He was stunned I tipped him that much. He became friendly after. I will go again. Just not with captain. Also, not going to put his name on here because I don’t want his business to go down.

So much fun
This was a fantastic experience. The only negative was that our entire party of 8 could not fit on one tiki. Captain John was very laid back and answered any questions we had. He provided us with music and a very relaxing ride through the harbor. We did not require anything to drink but water was available. Beautiful homes and a beautiful view of the shoreline. One warning, there is no bathroom on the tikis and it is a 1.5 hour cruise.
C
Perfect for couples
We did the evening cruise. It was really nice and perfect for couples. Our captain was friendly and professional. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Destin. Definitely recommend evening cruise for couples.
F
Great time
Our family had a great time with Captain Brian. He was very informative and we would definitely recommend this trip.
