Why it matters

One cut of water. Everything good is all around it.

The East Pass is the deep-water cut where Choctawhatchee Bay meets the Gulf, between Destin and Okaloosa Island. It is the way to Crab Island, the nearshore reefs, and the clear water the Emerald Coast is known for.

01

Straight to the sandbar

Crab Island sits just inside the pass, so you are in the clear water not long after leaving the dock.

02

Easy Gulf access

The same cut gets our fishing boats to nearshore reefs and wrecks without a long haul.

03

Locals who know the water

We run this pass regularly, so we know where it is calm, where the fish hold, and where to park for a good afternoon.

Show up, we've got the rest

Everything for a Crab Island day is already aboard.

Bring towels, sunscreen, snacks and your crew. This is waiting when you step on the boat.
