Where Our Crab Island Trips Depart — Locations, Parking & Check-In

Crab Island trips run from two Destin locations — the Crab Island Runner from our launch across from the sandbar, and the Tipsy Tiki from Gilligan’s on the Destin Harbor.

Choose Your Departure Location

Your exact departure dock depends on which trip you select — it’s shown on each option when you book and in your confirmation email.

Xtreme H2O — Crab Island Launch: 7 Calhoun Ave, Destin, FL 32541 · (850) 978-3060
The Crab Island Runner departs here, directly across from Crab Island on the north side of the East Pass Bridge. Get directions

Gilligan’s Watersports: 530 Harbor Blvd, Destin, FL 32541 · (850) 650-9000
Tipsy Tiki Crab Island swim trips and private charters board directly from Gilligan’s dock on the harbor. Get directions

Parking

Xtreme H2O (7 Calhoun Ave): Public parking is available at the Destin Marina, first come, first served. Space is limited on high-volume days, so we recommend carpooling when possible.

Gilligan's (530 Harbor Blvd): Free parking on property, first come, first served, with overflow parking at 531 Mountain Drive.

Check-In Process

Arrive 45 minutes before departure to complete waivers and check in, and bring a valid photo ID. Both boats are fully captained — no boating license or experience needed. After check-in, the crew walks you aboard and runs a quick safety briefing, and restrooms are available on board and at the departure location. On the Tipsy Tiki, bottled water and life vests are included, with the lily pad, floats, and water toys shared on the trip.

Good to bring: your own snacks and a small soft-sided cooler with drinks (no glass), reef-safe sunscreen, a hat with a strap, and a phone strap or waterproof case for photos. Weekends sell out — book at least 48 hours ahead.

Hands down, the best equipment and group of people!
I just wanted to send a special thanks to Jason, Taylor, and the whole staff over at Xtreme H20. There are a lot of places you can rent a watercraft but not all of them have the a caring, friendly, and down right awesome owner and staff that Xtreme have.
