Planning a Crab Island day this week? Start with our Pretty Water Guide. High tide often brings fresh Gulf water and those clear emerald colors everyone loves—but an early high tide does not mean the rest of the day is a wash. Clear water can linger as the tide moves, and wind, rain, sunshine, and boat traffic also shape the day. Morning or afternoon, Crab Island is still an experience worth having. Pick the Explorer trip that fits your schedule and let us handle the ride.

Updated July 21: Out of an abundance of caution, we are closing down trips today. All affected guests will be contacted.

Original Post:
We’re keeping a close eye on Tropical Storm Bertha, but major local impacts are not expected at this time. Tuesday may bring a few scattered showers, especially near the coast, with breezy conditions and rougher Gulf surf possible.

The good news is that our trips run in the more protected waters of Choctawhatchee Bay, so rough surf forecasts typically have less impact on the passenger experience. It can also be a great alternative when beach conditions include red flags or swimming closures.

We expect our normal summer weather pattern to return for the rest of the week, with plenty of sunshine, blue water and fun ahead. We’ll contact any affected guests directly with updates.
