1What do you pack for a trip to Crab Island?
Plan a picnic. Pack a cooler with your favorite foods and beverages. Alcohol is permitted because there are not any open container laws on the water there. Play it safe though and make your captain your designated driver.
If you want to sample the local fare, just pack your wallet. Be sure your visiting when the Crab Island vendors are open for business. Bring your rafts, and floaties and other water toys too. Pack as if you’re heading for the beach.
They say that nothing beats “word of mouth” advertising. If that’s true, perhaps you should consider some words of praise from someone in the know. Here is what Jack S. Chesney, former Penn State penman, and ghostwriter had to say about his visit to Crab Island.
Chesney said: “It’s a nice spot to party. If you’re going to bring the family that’s OK too. For the most part, the college crowd is more set on other places in Florida so while it’s no longer the best-kept secret in the state it’s still great!”
Are you ready to spend the day at Crab island? Call and reserve a boat ahead of time. Whether or not you’re looking for a fishing boat, a pontoon boat or even a powerboat, the boat rental businesses there have it waiting for you.
