Testimonials
The transportation service was pleasant, the food was enjoyable, and the cruise along with the fireworks made the experience! The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that I wish we could have a bit more time to enjoy the buffet. I understand it's for 2 hours, but with so much food and drinks served all at once, it can feel a bit rushed at times, especially when you’re eager to join in on dancing and other activities. An extension to at least 3 hours would definitely enhance the experience.

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your suggestion. However, we are not in a position to alter the policies at Crab Place. I encourage you to watch our candid review of the Crab Cruise experience, where we offer suggestions to enhance the feast portion. If crabs are your priority, I recommend you focus on them while reserving the dancing for the boat and enjoying food and drinks during the final 30 minutes of the feast. This way, you’ll have an hour and a half to enjoy the crabs. The crabs are huge can take some time eating, I understand.
We had an incredible experience on the Crab and Cruise with transportation! Booking our tickets online was a breeze, and we quickly received confirmation. Opting to book in advance allowed us to comfortably manage our payments for the tickets. The communication was outstanding; our charter made two pick-up stops, and every passenger was kept informed about the vehicle's status! It was an unforgettable adventure! Be prepared to spend approximately 14 hours outdoors. It’s definitely worth it!

My wife and I purchased tickets from New York to the Crab and Cruise, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience, from the bus ride to the venue. I highly recommend it; just be sure to bring your phone charger and a portable charger as well.

Thank you for your review! Hope you all join us again from New York!
Our group successfully arranged individual ticket bookings for a dedicated charter bus exclusively for our organization! This streamlined the process significantly and spared us the complexities of managing details for every individual. Each of the 56 passengers took responsibility for their own booking, and all we needed to do was log into our company account to verify each ticket. I also appreciated how our team-building opportunity, allowed each guest to book their ticket while still charging it to our company account only. It was a very organized experience! Eagerly anticipating 2025 Crab & Cruise!
