Cruise the Emerald Coast at sunset, enjoy island-inspired music, and watch for dolphins, sea turtles, and stingrays along the way.
About this tour
Set out from the foot of Brooks Bridge and watch the Emerald Coast turn gold as the sun sinks toward the horizon. This 120-minute Fort Walton Beach Sunset Cruise pairs island-inspired music with open-water views and the chance to spot local marine life.
Your captain guides the boat across the coast’s clear waters, where bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, and brown nose stingrays may appear along the way. Then settle in for the main event: a spectacular sunset and a memorable view of the shoreline from the water. Bottled water is provided; alcoholic beverages, soda, and snacks are not included.
The cruise suits all fitness levels, and infant seats are available. Plan ahead for your arrival: construction is underway on Brooks Bridge, traffic can be especially heavy from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend, and late arrivals are not eligible for refunds. On-site parking costs $8 for four hours. Book your Fort Walton Beach Sunset Cruise and enjoy the coast at its most colorful.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.70 from 47 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
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 6.7.
