Saw a lot of dolphins, got beautiful pictures, captain and first mate were informative, friendly, great hosts!! They played great music while aboard. The ocean breeze smell was delivered!! The grandparents on the trip said it was “the best experience” they have had in Florida!!

Overview

Seeing dolphins jumping gleefully from the water against the sunset has to be the perfect end to a day in sunny Florida. Set sail from Destin Harbour on a Catamaran-style boat and enjoy a front-row seat at the show while learning more about Choctawhatchee Bay’s various species of dolphin. Conclude the tour by watching the sky turn orange from beneath the famous harbor bridge.
  • Increase your chances of dolphin sightings with an expert, eagle-eyed crew
  • Learn about the dolphins and key attractions around Destin Harbour
  • The boat puts you at eye level with the water for optimal dolphin viewing
  • An ideal activity for families

Excellent. Led by Captain Morgan and Dawson we took the Sunset cruise and were promised we would see dolphins and we saw many. The sunset was fabulous. The crew interacted with the passengers on a personal level with fun stories and history of the surrounding area. They enjoyed their job which showed during the cruise. They also explained the history of crab island that enticed us to comeback next year with our whole family. The price of this cruise was incredibly affordable in comparison to others. We recommend this cruise and would definitely do it again.

We were in Destin for a childhood friend reunion and decided to do the sunset dolphin cruise. All 12 of us really enjoyed the experience.

Well Priced

Michelle_P, Apr 2026
We saw quite a few dolphins and the beautiful sunset. It wasn’t over crowded and a great time. The only problem was it was hard to hear what the driver was saying over the radio! However, the music playlist was awesome!

Tour you must do

Dolphin cruise

Justin_D, Mar 2026
Captain Dawson and 1st mate Patrick was very knowledgeable and interactive with everyone on the excursion.

👍. Great

Rachael_M, Mar 2026
Good time. Great crew, very helpful. Always let passengers know when speeding up the boat! Lots of dolphins. Beautiful view of sunset!

Better than expected!

Katryna_B, Mar 2026
Didn’t know what to expect as it was our first sunset dolphin cruise. Dawson and his deck hand (Patrick I think ) were awesome. Despite having a bit of a Debbie downer crowd of about 45 people they were hilarious, got on the dolphins right away and gave us a great tour of the area. I highly recommend sitting up front if possible for the best views. The sunset was incredible and they took pictures for everyone that wanted one. Highly recommend!

Definite Must

Chrissy_J, Mar 2026
Amazing Experience!! The guys were great and made the experience so much better than our last trip!!

We saw lots of dolphins...

Shawn_F, Mar 2026
We saw lots of dolphins and the captain and 1st mate were very friendly and personable. It was also scenic to be out at sunset and enjoyed the music selection. Only complaint was 1.5 hours was too long for the kids. In particular my 1 y/o who was missing dinner (my fault) but also my 7 y/o who even made a friend and he was running around with thought it was too long.

Loved this experience. 10/10 recommend

Alexis_W, Mar 2026
