What are people saying about Destin

Edward_M, Apr 2026

Best boat rental place in Destin!

We had an amazing time! They were very informative and explained everything we needed to know. We rented the boat for 8 hours and it was more than enough, the 4 hour tour was 250 but for 100 dollars more we could take it for 4 hours more! Definitely worth every penny!

Highly Recommend!

Awesome experience! Captain Daniel and his first mate were so fun and accommodating. Playing great music, dancing on the deck, helping us call a vendor over for food delivery. Great variety of floats provided for use in the water. A really fun, chill day all around!

10/10 – Absolutely...

10/10 – Absolutely Phenomenal Experience! Our couples group came down from Nashville for a quick getaway, and this snorkeling and dolphin-watching adventure was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, everything was top-tier. The captain and crew were incredible—professional, welcoming, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, which was such an amazing experience in itself. The snorkeling portion was just as impressive—the instructors were very engaging, informative, and made it fun for everyone, regardless of experience level. They really created a whole vibe out on the water—music playing, a bubble machine going—it felt like a perfect mix of relaxation and fun. You could tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and it translated into an unforgettable experience for all of us. Overall, we had an amazing time and will absolutely be booking again the next time we’re in town. Sending all the love from Nashville, Tennessee!

Crab Island Adventure

Comfortable cruise on a beautiful day from Destin Harbor to Crab Island… the water was pleasantly warm for April… Captain Brad was informative and attentive. We got a bonus in that we saw a dolphin and a sea turtle surface by our Tiki boat before we even left the harbor… the rest of the passengers were wonderful. Captain Brad put out paddle boards and a large float for us to use… we would highly recommend. Another bonus for us was watching the military jets take off and land from nearby Eglin AFB…

Family Trip to Crab Island

Amazing trip to Crab Island with my wife to and two kids. 10 and 11. We saw Dolphins along the way and Captain even circled back to get us a better view. Once we arrived at Crab Island we anchored and had a great time. We used to floats, lily pad and stand up paddle board. We will definitely book again next time we’re in the area.

1st time

Wayy more peaceful of a trip then you would think.. our crew was Christian and Caleb and they made us so comfortable. For 1st timers, this experience was out of this world!

We did the video package with a go pro to see our reactions, the height we were, the beach the ocean. Such a great experience!

A day of sunshine with Captain Morgan

My wife and I were visiting Destin and booked Sun Venture Cruises for the Crab Island tour in last minute. After seeing other tours we decided to go go with sol y Luna. After our arrival we forgot our towels in the car so Captain Morgan asap had Patrick take me to my car in a VIP gulf car to go get the towels. My wife was so happy ❤️. We had Captain Morgan and Patrick take us out today and they made our trip AMAZING!!! They were so fun and knowledgeable. They kept us safe and were very accommodating. They were able to tell us about all the options and vendors on Crab Island and they knew and recommended other vendors by name. We had such a great time! This is our second year visiting crab island and Captain Morgan and Patrick made it most memorable! The spot was amazing. Don’t wait any longer book with sun ventured tourist and assure Captain Morgan and crew are available. It’s always five o clock somewhere “ hohoho pirate life ! Excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ .

Best Day Ever!

Probably one of the coolest outdoor adventures I've ever had, and that's saying something! Absolutely incredible snorkeling- crystal clear water with plenty of fish, turtles and cool rock underwater formations to enjoy. The clear kayaks were unbelievable, they were a window to a whole world right beneath you. Elijah was a passionate and knowledgeable guide- he loves this place and knows every inch of it, and he was happy to share his knowledge with us.

Parasailing Experience in Destin

Evette_J, Jul 2025

Unforgettable Parasailing Adventure!

Our parasailing trip with Captain Braden and 1st Mate Dave was absolutely incredible from start to finish! From the moment we stepped on the boat, they made us feel welcome, safe, and totally at ease. Their professionalism mixed with great humor created the perfect vibe for an unforgettable experience. The views from up above were breathtaking—crystal blue waters, peaceful skies, and a gentle breeze that made the whole ride feel magical. Braden handled the boat like a pro, and Dave was right there keeping us relaxed the entire time. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in how well they take care of their guests. This was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip, and we can’t recommend it enough! If you're thinking about parasailing, do it—and definitely request Braden and Dave if you can. You’ll have the time of your life!
