Destin Sunset Cruise with Dolphin Watching

About this experience

Step aboard our comfortable pontoon for a spectacular 90 minute sunset cruise through the emerald waters of Destin Harbor and Choctawhatchee Bay. As the sun begins its descent, casting golden hues across the sky, you'll glide effortlessly over the bay, taking in the stunning panoramic views. Don't forget to bring a bottle of wine or your favorite beverage (BYOB) to sip while watching the sky transform into a masterpiece of fiery colors. Along the way, we will also watch for playful dolphins.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic evening, or simply unwinding with friends and family, our relaxing sunset cruise is the perfect way to end the day.

We don’t leave timing to chance. Our evening cruises are set to catch the best light, the calmest water, and the kind of magic that makes people forget about their phones. Although, have your phone cameras ready to capture the spectacular sunset views, and our sweet local dolphins!

Itinerary and highlights

Step aboard our comfortable pontoon at the dock and depart for a spectacular sunset cruise through the emerald waters of Destin Harbor and Choctawhatchee Bay. Our comfortable pontoon takes you through Destin Harbor with Norriego Point City Park to the left, and HarborWalk Village to the right. Watch for pelicans, blue herons, and the occasional dolphin as we pass fishing charter boats of all sizes. As we near the Destin Bridge, looking to the left (south) will be the East Pass and the entrance to the Gulf.

As the sun begins its descent, casting golden hues across the sky, you'll glide effortlessly over the bay, taking in the stunning panoramic views. Once we pass under the Destin Bridge, we will loop around the bay, taking in the surrounding views over Crab Island and the docks, as we keep an eye out for our local dolphins.

After the sun has set, we will make our way back to the dock, passing once again through Destin Harbor. The lights of the Emerald Grande, HarborWalk Village, and the docks gleam off the water for yet another spectacular view. This sunset cruise is the perfect choice to celebrate a special occasion, enjoy a romantic evening, or simply unwind with friends and family. It is a perfect way to end the day.
