Set out from Shields Marina in Fort Walton Beach and boat over to Destin Harbour/Inlet area on a relaxing 2.5-hour cruise designed for all ages and perfect for a memorable taste of Florida’s Emerald Coast. With a small group onboard, you’ll enjoy a comfortable ride, partially shaded seating, and plenty of chances to capture photos of the coastline and marine life.

As you cruise through the local waters, your professional captain and crew take you to areas known for dolphin activity. Watch for bottlenose dolphins swimming, surfacing, and playing near the boat—an unforgettable wildlife encounter that’s often possible here (sightings are highly likely but never guaranteed). You may see other marine life, including birds, fish, sea turtles, rays, etc.

Along the way, your captain will share engaging commentary about local ecosystems, dolphin behaviour, and the coastal environment around Destin. The informative narration adds depth to the experience, turning a scenic boat ride into a guided look at the local marine world.

To keep you comfortable, the shaded areas make the cruise easy to enjoy even on sunny days. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, with friends, or with the whole family, this cruise is a simple, relaxing and rewarding way to experience Destin/Fort Walton Beach from the water. We look forward to having you on board!
