Cruise Destin Harbor and the bay at sunset, with snacks, wine for guests over 21, relaxing music, and chances to spot dolphins.

About this tour

Watch the evening light settle over the water on a Destin sunset cruise with dolphin spotting. This 1.5-hour captained outing pairs harbor and bay views with complimentary wine for guests over 21, snacks, and relaxing music.

Cruise through Destin Harbor, passing its homes and yachts before heading into the bay. Keep an eye out for dolphins and other marine life as the sun sinks toward the horizon. On the return, take in the glow of the harbor lights and waterfront boardwalk. The boat carries up to six passengers, making for a small-group outing, and you can bring your own food, snacks, and drinks, except red wine.

Meet at the East Dock slips behind The Edge restaurant, beneath the yellow umbrella, and allow time for traffic and parking. Children 6 and under need a Coast Guard-approved life jacket, which the operator does not provide. Settle in, raise a glass, and enjoy a memorable Destin sunset cruise with dolphin spotting.

How the score works and rating distribution in Destin
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.1. Top 16% in Destin means it ranks in the top 16% of tours in Destin by this score.
