Fun in the sun
Great way to enjoy the Gulf! Beautiful day in the water. Our captain Murray was great. We saw some dolphins on our way back to the dock which was a nice bonus. It is nice you can bring your own beverages to enjoy while floating. It was relaxing to be out there with nothing to do but relax and float. We were lucky to get beautiful weather.

Bachelor/Bachelorette Party
Absolutely awesome! We booked over the phone with Mary and she set our group of 26 people up with two private tiki’s. We were having a bachelor bachelor party the day before my daughter‘s wedding… Everything was phenomenal! From the dock to Crab Island, everything was perfect! Our captains were fantastic and made our day so enjoyable! Would definitely book with them again!

Crab island
We had such an amazing time on the tiki boat to Crab Island! 🌴🦀☀️ The whole experience was so much fun, relaxing, and definitely one of the highlights of our beach trip. The boat ride was beautiful, the atmosphere was great, and we made so many fun memories along the way.

Tailfins with Captain Mike
I’ve been to Destin a few times, but never to Crab Island. I’m so glad we chose Tailfins Tikis , our Captain Mike was the best!! He played a mix of music to satisfy everyone onboard (jamming) and we parked in the perfect spot. I would book them over and over!!!
