Sip, Sail & Sunset: Private Panama City Beach Sunset Cruise

About this Experience

What you'll do:

Head out on a private evening cruise timed perfectly for golden hour. You’ll glide through the calm waters of Panama City Beach as the sky shifts into sunset colors, with your captain guiding you to scenic viewpoints and areas where dolphins are often active near Shell Island. The pace is slow and relaxed, giving your group time to take in the views, snap photos, and enjoy a peaceful ride as the sun drops into the Gulf.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Sunset over the Gulf (The light is unreal, and the water turns glassy and photogenic as the day cools off)

  • Private, intimate cruise (Your group gets the whole boat, so the vibe stays exactly how you want it)

  • Dolphin sightings at dusk (Evening is a great time to catch dolphins cruising and playing in the bay)

  • Easy, low-effort luxury (Just show up, bring what you want to sip, and let your captain handle the route)

  • Shell Island scenery (Quiet shoreline views make the sunset feel extra tucked-away and special)
