Included in the package is brunch, a happy-hour charcuterie, soda, and snacks. During your trip, you'll get to see an amazing Gulf Coast sunset and the Harbor Lights glittering over dark waters. You get to choose to sail east or west. To the west, you'll enjoy views of the Fort Walton and Navarre Beaches. Heading east, you'll glimpse the snow-white beaches of Destin, Miramar, and the shores along Scenic Highway 30A. The crew will pamper you throughout the cruise by serving meals, mixing drinks, and attending to any of your needs. Throughout it all, keep an eye out over the water for dolphins, sea turtles, and manta rays!
Brunch Excursion
If you haven't brunched on the water, have you ever really brunched at all? Enjoy the best meal of the day aboard a luxury yacht with the four-hour Brunch Excursion. This brunch experience can serve up to eight people—so bring your friends for a good time. The package includes a gourmet brunch menu, drink options (beer, wine, or champagne), and stunning coastal views. If you'd like, ask the captain to anchor at Crab Island, while you soak up the sun and make lifelong memories.
"Happy Hour" Excursion
Happy Hour on the jeweled-toned waves of the Gulf Coast? Yes, please! There's no other place we'd rather spend Happy Hour. The Happy Hour Excursion can entertain groups of up to eight people. On board, you'll enjoy a refreshing adult beverage of your choice while taking in the paradise views. You'll be served hors d'oeuvres from one of Destin's restaurants. And the radio will play TropRock, adding to the laid-back vibe. You'll never want to experience happy hour any other way after this trip!
