Private Sunset Cruises from Fort Walton Beach: Dolphin Watching, Scenic Views & Fireworks

What you'll do:

Set sail on a private sunset cruise through the stunning Santa Rosa Sound and Choctawhatchee Bay aboard a luxury 24-ft pontoon boat. This 2–3 hour experience is customizable — choose between cruising the vibrant Destin Harbor with its glittering skyline or drifting through the quiet beauty of the Spoil Islands.

Both routes offer frequent dolphin sightings and unbeatable views of the golden hour. Want to make the night extra special? Time your cruise with a scheduled fireworks show over the water.

Why we love it for your party:

• Private pontoon experience (Luxury 12-person boat with spacious seating)

• Customizable route (Destin Harbor or secluded islands)

• Dolphin sightings (Common in both areas!)

• Optional fireworks cruise (View the show from the water)

• Perfect for all occasions (Bachelor/ette parties, birthdays, or celebration vibes)
