About this tour

Set out as the Florida sky turns gold on a Panama City Beach sunset cruise, where emerald water, coastal wildlife, and open views make the evening feel a world away. Aboard a spacious 32-foot fiberglass pontoon, enjoy a relaxed 90-minute ride with room for up to 18 passengers.

Your captain and crew guide the boat across St. Andrews Bay and into the Gulf, with scenic views of the coastline and Shell Island along the way. Keep watch for dolphins surfacing nearby, as well as birds and deer along the shore. Comfortable seating and the open-air setting make it easy to take in the sea breeze and changing colors of the sunset. Water is provided, and you can bring your own snacks and drinks in non-glass containers.

This Panama City Beach sunset cruise offers an easygoing way to share the water with family or friends. Arrive at Lighthouse Marina, find the shaded meeting area by the boat barn, and settle in for an evening of coastal scenery and wildlife. Book your cruise and enjoy the shoreline from the water.
