“We had a great experience with Captain Wendy. She was very knowledgeable and energetic. She took us to great spots at Crab Island. We were able to get some food delivered to us right in the boat. After we were tired of swimming, Captain Wendy took us on a wonderful tour of the Destin Bay.” - Reviewed on 2024-07-07
