Let's see how big you can possible smile. Board our speed boat located in the Destin Harbor and take a quick tour of the harbor and East Pass as we make our way to open waters by Crab Island. Then climb onto the inflatable banana shaped tube and prepare for the most fun you can possible have. A wet and wild ride or a phenomenal tour of the beautiful Destin waters. Your choice. The crew will provide service like you have never experienced and truly care about being a positive memory for you and your friends or family. Great for all ages. High quality photos available that are great for Facebook friends. Around 50-75 HQ photos available for all riders to download. We are located behind Electric Cowboy on the Destin Harbor. 314 Highway 98 (Harbor Blvd) « less

The experience was amazing. The captain Chris and the photographer Angel did an excellent job. The captain provided us with all the safety information and also with places and boats around by. Angel took nice photographs of all the exciting moments on the boat ride. Worth the money.
