Plan your private Crab Island bachelorette boat trip

Find answers about Crab Island boat rentals for bachelorette parties, our 3-hour and 6-hour private trips, and getting ready for your day on The Bach Boat.

Is there a bathroom onboard?
Yes! Our boats are outfitted with a private, enclosed bathroom for your comfort and convenience.
What if the weather is bad?

Our Fair Weather Policy means trips only operate when the captain determines that the weather and water conditions are safe.

The captain makes the decision 1 hour before your scheduled departure.

If conditions are unsafe, we first attempt to reschedule your trip. If we cannot reschedule, your payment is refunded in full.

We do not cancel in advance based solely on a poor forecast. The captain assesses conditions on the day of your trip.

What is your cancellation policy?
So long as you cancel 14 days in advance, you will receive a full refund.
Is smoking allowed on the boat?

Smoking is not allowed on our vessels. Vaping is allowed.

What types of things can we do/see on our trip?

Because our trips are private, you get to decide what we do and where we go! Here are some things to consider:

  • Crab Island
  • Dolphin spotting
  • Cruise around the Gulf, Bay, or Harbor (conditions permitting)
  • Norriego Point
What is the best time to go to Crab Island?

Morning or within 2 hours of high tide are good times to visit Crab Island. High tide brings clearer water from the Gulf of Mexico.

How do I pay the crew?

Crew fees (and any greatly appreciated gratuity) will be paid directly to the Captain. We accept cash, check, Venmo, Zelle, etc.

Can we book a Crab Island boat trip if we are staying on 30A?
Yes. Guests staying on 30A can book a private Bach Boat trip to Crab Island. All trips depart from Heron Harbor Marina, 314 Harbor Blvd, Destin, FL 32541. Arrange transportation from your 30A accommodation to the Destin marina; departure is not from 30A.
How many guests can come on The Bach Boat?

What trip lengths are available?

Choose a 3-hour or 6-hour private trip. Select your date in the booking calendar to see available departure times and current pricing.

Are there additional fees beyond the advertised trip price?

Where are you located?

Our tiki boats are located on the Destin harbor at Heron Harbor Marina (314 Harbor Blvd, Destin FL 32541) which is very close to Crab Island.

To find us when you arrive at the marina, walk down to the dock (past the dock huts) and we will be located in the first slip on the left.
