Crab Island Adventures, founded by Ryan and Madison Wallace in 2020, offers personalized cruises around Crab Island, a special place where they worked together during their youth. Their passion for the water led Madison to become a licensed captain, and they turned their love for this destination into a thriving business. They provide memorable experiences for guests, sharing the area's beauty and creating lifelong memories on their luxury Tritoon and expanding fleet.
This outfit consistently delivers fantastic Crab Island excursions, with captains and crew who clearly know how to show people a good time. Multiple reviewers rave about specific guides by name—Justin gets particularly enthusiastic praise, while Captain Ryan, Riley and Madi, and the duo of Captain James and Tanya all earn glowing mentions for being welcoming, attentive, and fun. The boats come well-equipped with amenities like paddleboards and slides that kids especially love. The crew's friendliness really stands out across reviews. People appreciate how the staff makes everyone feel welcome and creates a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere on the water. Families mention how accommodating the captains are with different needs, and several guests highlight the communal vibe of meeting other passengers on the shared rides. One reviewer did find Crab Island itself overhyped compared to social media expectations, but the overwhelming consensus points to memorable trips with attentive guides who elevate the whole experience.
Labor Day 2025 at Crab Island with Captain Riley and first mate, Mattie was a wonderful time for our group of friends! 10/10 I would recommend the 4 hour Summer Lovin tour! It was a smooth ride out and back! Riley called over the food and other vendor boats at our request. Mattie assisted with taking our pictures and videos! It was a great first visiting crab island and we will be back again with this company!
