We had an absolutely incredible time at Crab Island, and a huge part of that was thanks to Captain Diego! From start to finish, he made sure everything was perfect. He was professional and had a great energy that kept the vibes high all day. He really went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a blast. If you’re heading out to Crab Island, do yourself a favor and ask for Diego. We couldn't have asked for a better captain to lead our day on the water!
