  • Capt. Bill took our family out to Crab Island on his Luxury Tiki Boat. On the way out he found dolphins for us. The kids absolutely loved it. The boat is very nice and the customer service is excellent. We had the best time and have decided to return in the fall and take another trip with him.

  • Capt Bill made sure we got the full Crab Island experience. Dolphin watching, sunset cruise and of coarse, enjoying the sun and water at Crab Island.

    Jeff

  • We had the best time cruising with Island Time Tiki in Destin! Watching dolphins follow along beside the boat was phenomenal , and hanging at Crab Island was a blast—the vibe was fun, the water crystal clear, and the crew took such great care of us. This is hands down one of the best ways to experience the Emerald Coast. Thanks for an unforgettable day!

  • Bill took us out on his Tiki boat, and the experience was absolutely fantastic! The boat is spacious, and the central table made it easy to enjoy drinks and great conversation with friends as we cruised. We saw plenty of dolphins and watched a stunning sunset. Bill was warm, welcoming, and made everything feel effortless and relaxing from start to finish.
