Love the energy from start to finish. I had an amazing time and the views were absolutely beautiful. The trip felt safe the entire way, and the guys did an incredible job keeping everyone entertained. The music playlist was phenomenal. Thank you all for an unforgettable adventure!

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

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.

The boat was crowded but not overly. Tyler and Luke were great at getting everything done, everyone settled and giving information as we rode. We had a rather loud family group on the boat and they handled the situation perfectly, respectfully (great job & Thank You) It was an absolute success saw dolphins and a beautiful sunset … Amazing Job guys, Thank You !!!!
