About this experience
Set sail with us on an unforgettable 1.25-hour Sunset Cruise, a non-private experience that combines the thrill of dolphin watching, the enchantment of a Choctawhatchee Bay sunset, and the magic of Destin Harbor's evening lights.
Our cruise embarks on Choctawhatchee Bay, a haven for marine life, including playful dolphins. Keep your eyes peeled, as our experienced crew knows just where to find them. *PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE WILD DOLPHINS AND WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL FIND THEM.
The highlight of the trip is undoubtedly the breathtaking sunset over Choctawhatchee Bay. As the sun paints the sky with shades of orange, pink, and gold, you'll have the perfect vantage point on our cruise.
After bidding adieu to the sun, we'll return to Destin Harbor, where the city's lights come to life, casting a magical glow over the waterfront. Capture these captivating sights and create cherished memories.
