Led by Captain Ron B., a seasoned local guide who began his career in the heart of the maritime industry, our mission is to provide high-quality, memorable water excursions that prioritize guest happiness and local hospitality.

The Ultimate Crab Island Experience

Located just minutes away from the famous Crab Island, our adventures take you into the stunningly clear, shallow waters that make the Emerald Coast legendary. Whether you are looking to anchor down at a lively sandbar, explore secluded private islands, or enjoy a quiet moment on the Choctawhatchee Bay, we offer a front-row seat to the area’s most beautiful ecosystems.

Our Vessel: The Double-Decker Advantage

A second deck for the best views and photo opportunities.

An onboard bathroom for your convenience during long days on the water.

Ample seating for families, wedding parties, or corporate retreats.

Evening Specialty Trips: Themed cruises including seasonal Fireworks displays and Adult-Only Evening tours for those looking to relax with a drink in hand.

Why Choose Captain Ron?

At Blues Emerald Coast Adventures, we believe the guide makes the trip. Captain Ron is known for his friendly demeanor and is exceptionally great with children, making all our tours family-friendly with no age limits. From witnessing a sunset proposal to helping a family navigate their first visit to a private island, we thrive on the "magic" of the water.

Based in Fort Walton Beach, we are perfectly positioned to serve guests staying in the Destin area who want a professional, captained experience without the stress of navigating a rental boat themselves. No guest licenses are required—simply show up, and let us handle the rest
