Top Shelf Tikis runs a fantastic operation in Destin with captains who clearly love what they do. Reviewers consistently rave about Captain Brad, Captain Wendi, and Captain Dave, praising their friendly personalities, local knowledge, and commitment to making each trip special. The dolphin sightings are a major highlight, with guests spotting plenty of them on nearly every cruise. People also appreciate how the captains go above and beyond, like tracking down late arrivals, adjusting departure times for better sunsets, and taking great photos for guests. The sunset cruises get particularly high marks for their relaxed vibe and beautiful scenery. Guests love that they can play their own music and bring their own drinks while the captains provide refreshments and navigate to the best viewing spots. What really stands out is the personal attention each group receives. One couple noted how their captain proceeded with their tour even though they were the only two booked, turning it into an unexpectedly private experience. It's clear this isn't just a cookie-cutter tourist operation but a team genuinely focused on creating memorable outings for their guests.
Best way to go to crab island by far! Captain Brad was awesome and beautiful first mate was exceptional as well! The pair made sure you had everything you needed at all times! Safety was the captains first priority! We had 20 people on our cruise including three young children. Captain Brad kept the children in mind when choosing a spot to park and enjoy crab island. Don’t hesitate to book this cruise to our won’t regret it!! Thank you both fora awesome time and btw 3 hours is plenty of time !
