Crab Island - Crab Island was very different. We enjoyed the trip but wasn’t to impressed with all the flirting between the staff on the boat. The girl on the boat vaped a lot and I thought that was unprofessional.

Crab Island - Not a lot to do except lay out and paddle board. Wish I would have brought a football to throw around.
