Family Boat Charters in Destin — With a Private Bathroom

Taking kids out on the water is a completely different trip, and most boats aren't set up for it. Ours is: an air-conditioned cabin, a private enclosed bathroom, shade, life jackets sized from toddler to adult, and calm shallow anchorage in the Crab Island area minutes from Fort Walton Landing. Up to 6 guests total including children.

Why families pick this boat

  • A real bathroom on board

    A private enclosed restroom inside the cabin — the single biggest difference between a good day with kids and a short one. No paddling back to the dock.

  • Life jackets sized by age

    Coast Guard approved jackets from infant and toddler through youth and adult. We ask each child's age when you book so the right sizes are already aboard.

  • Certified captain, first aid and CPR

    USCG-licensed captain, American Red Cross certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR and AED, with all required safety equipment aboard.

  • Shade and air conditioning

    A bimini top over the seating plus an air-conditioned cabin, so nap time and cool-down breaks happen on the water instead of ending the trip.

  • Calm, shallow swimming

    We anchor on the shallow sandbar flats in the Crab Island area where kids can stand in waist-deep, clear water — paddle board, floats and goggles included.

  • Your family only

    Private charters for up to 6 guests including children, one trip per day. Your playlist, your pace, no strangers aboard.

Good to know

Planning a trip with young kids

Pick the shorter ride to the sandbar

Fort Walton Landing is 5–10 minutes by boat from the Crab Island area. Cessna Landing is a 30–45 minute bay ride depending on conditions — beautiful, but it's a lot of the clock on a 2 hour charter with little ones.

Tell us their ages when you book

The booking form asks how many guests are children and their ages. That's how we stage the right life jacket sizes — infant, toddler, child, youth — before you get to the dock.

We help you pick the calmest day

Our booking page includes an AI-powered weather guide that reads wind, waves and tides for the bay so you can choose a smooth window — the clearest water is usually the last 1–2 hours of an incoming tide and around high tide.
