Crab Island was awesome, but the parking could’ve been closer.

Full description

Arrive at the meeting point and be welcomed with red carpet treatment. Upon arrival, your concierge will unload your vehicle, and carry all your belongings & coolers (up to 50 pounds) down to the pontoon boat. The concierge will also load your coolers with ice from the ice machine for free.

Before parting, you will receive a brief and comprehensive orientation from the team, so you can get the most out of your boat trip and stay safe.

When it's time to explore, enjoy the gorgeous white sandy beaches and the emerald-green waters. If you wish, go fishing or make your way to Crab Island where many people gather and anchor their boat to enjoy the day. If it gets too hot, don't worry as all Pontoon boats have a 10' bimini overhead to provide some shade.

After 4 hours of fun, return to the dock, where the team will carry all your coolers & belongings back to your car and pick up all your trash, that way all you have to worry about is having fun!!
