Destin, Florida, famously dubbed the "Emerald Coast," is a stunning coastal city known for its pristine white sands and vibrant turquoise waters. One of the most beloved local outdoor experiences here is a private pontoon charter with S.E.A. Chase Charters, offering a uniquely fun and relaxing way to explore the waters around Crab Island. This spot is a shallow sandbar just off the coast, where boaters gather to swim, float on rafts, and soak in the sun. It’s a favorite destination for families and groups seeking safe, sunny water-based fun.
What sets S.E.A. Chase Charters apart is their commitment to creating personalized, memorable outings tailored for all ages.
