Sunset cruises are one of the most breathtaking ways to experience the splendor of the Emerald Coast. Enjoy a refreshing beverage, while we cruise the Destin Harbor and East Pass, as our skilled Captain finds the perfect spot to watch the sun sink below the horizon. No matter the cruise you take aboard Southern Star, our priority is to create an exciting, family-oriented experience that is like no other.
WANT TO SEE DOLPHINS IN DESTIN?
Proceeding into the East Pass, the Emerald Coast’s most remarkable features—pristine waters and sugar-white sand beaches—are prominently displayed. If waters are calm enough, we will cruise into the Gulf of Mexico, just off the beach in search of the dolphins as they feed and play. If the seas are uncomfortable, the captain will cruise into calmer, protected waters in the Choctawhatchee Bay, where our resident dolphin pods live and sleep. Safety and passenger comfort are top great priorities, and you are in good hands with your captain and crew.
This area is home to a variety of seabirds and other wildlife that we witness throughout the cruise. We saw many dolphins and sharks and the Captain and crew couldn't have been more informative or helpful. Very family-friendly and that made a huge impression on me. I would highly recommend this as a nice outing while visiting the area. We scheduled this as a surprise for my best friend’s birthday.

Went on the two hour cruise yesterday at 6pm, and we all had a great time, especially the kids. The crew had the kids and adults laughing the entire time. I wanted to video the whole trip there were so many funny antics. The weather for the 6pm sailing was great for July since it had rained earlier in the day and therefore not too hot. Your captain will begin the narrated tour in Destin Harbor, giving a brief history of the area on which the town was founded and pointing out local places of interest. As we exit the harbor, the mates will assist those interested in feeding the birds and will distribute food to do so.
