We searched Destin for a family-friendly dolphin cruise. We were NOT interested in loud music, booze, and excessive speeds because we had young children in tow. Sunshine Watersports was the perfect choice! The crew (Owen and Hannah) were super friendly, courteous, and professional. It was a great tour as we saw numbers of dolphins, even one pod with a baby. Overall, it was a wonderful tour. We couldn’t have imagined a better experience. Thank you so much, Owen and Hannah of Sunshine Watersports! Highly recommended!
Great time, basic boat rental and perfect for what we needed to cruise around for 4 hours. Very friendly and nice staff and the best price around.
Went on a sunset cruise with Josh and Wesley. Awesome guides with great music! Would definitely book again!!
We've used Sunshine before and keep coming back. A very smooth transaction and experience. Professional and friendly staff. Easy in-and-out of dock with the pontoon. No complaints.
We had a great experience with our pontoon rental! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful - special shout-out to Bear for making everything smooth and enjoyable. The prices were awesome, the boat was super clean, and the entire rental process was quick and easy. Highly recommend!
Alex and Val great at getting us booked and in the boat. If you get the half day pontoon, it's older and the speakers don't work, but they'll give you a portable speaker. Potoon ran great and it was fun to hang out at Crab Island! We didn't have any floats, so remember to bring one you can attach to the pontoon.
We had a fun time. They even gave us free ice. The boys at the dock were super courteous and helpful. They let you fish from the pontoon ( not all places do). The only thing I would change is the anchor rope was short and couldn’t reach the bottom aside from sand bars.
These guys did a great job setting us up in a rental pontoon! The price was right and the boats were nice! They were also extremely helpful helping us load and unload and loading us up with free ice!
We couldn’t be happier with our Pontoon boat rental from Sunshine Destin. The boat was in excellent condition, staff were friendly and courteous. We had a wonderful day!! Thanks again to everyone at Sunshine Destin. 👋
We had a great time on the pontoon boat. Bear made us feel welcome and got us off to a good start. He explained things very well.
Rented a pontoon boat from Sunshine Rentals - the rental process was super easy and smooth. The boat was in perfect condition. The staff was professional, friendly and helpful. The rental rate was very reasonable too!
We took the dolphin sunset cruise. It was the highlight of our trip. We saw so many dolphins jumping and playing. The crew did a great job to make this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
We absolutely loved the Dolphin Cruise with Josh and Hannah last week. It was our very first time ever going on one. Im so glad I booked. It was fun and very informative. Josh did a great job at not only finding the Dolphins, but telling us about stuff happening around Destin. Pointing out the good food places out on the water. We will definitely be back to do more fun things. Heads up on parking. If I was you, I'd back into the parking spot. It took us a good long while to get out of that small packed parking lot. Back in and try parking close to the exit side. Thank me later😂
I had a very pleasant experience with Sunshine Water Sports. They truly focus on customer satisfaction. I booked a sunset cruise with them, and it was wonderful. The crew patiently waited for the actual sunset, no matter how long it took, which made the experience even more special. We were also delighted to see many dolphins in the evening as they came out to play in the cooler water. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable ride!
We went on the dolphin sunset cruise last night, and thoroughly enjoyed it! Kyle and Josh were the best captain/hosts, making sure we all saw the dolphins and had an enjoyable time. Highly recommend this cruise, we’ll be back next year! For some reason I can’t download photos of the dolphins, but we saw a lot of them, they put on a good show for us!

Did the snorkeling 2.5 hr cruise. Much fun. Lots of kids and all ages aboard. I consider it worth the money. Crew was great!
What a wonderful time we had. So many dolphins and sharks! The snorkeling was shallow water and great for beginners. Boat was clean and Kyle and Westley were knowledgeable and awesome hosts.
Great captains. Great wildlife. Even better music playlist! Perfect way to start the day with some snorkeling and dolphin sighting!
We had a great time. Kyle and awesome were great and made sure we got to see things not even planned on the trip. Very relaxing. Snorkeling we could have used less jellyfish, but hey, it’s the ocean!!! Well down by both of you.
We really enjoyed our dolphin cruise and snorkeling ! I liked that they explained the dangers of the water I felt that my family and I were safe … good job guys
Our snorkling /dolphin cruise was an amazing birthday vacation for my daughter and granddaughter and son. We saw dolphins riding beside boat we caught hermit crabs and saw a blue crab and many fish and sea snails our host were great and made us feel safe and entertained.
Their 2 stop snorkeling and the dolphin cruise is awesome. We booked for the second time again with them as we had a wonderful experience for the first time with these people. 100% recommend this whenever you are is Destin!!
Great family parasailing experience. Brayden and Brandon were fantastic—very professional, fun, and kept the kids completely safe. 10/10 recommend.
We had an amazing time Parasailing today. Our staff was amazing!! Would definitely do it again. Would highly recommend them.
We went in the early bird Just Chute Me! parasailing trip with Bo & Brandon, and it was great! It was our first time, and both guys were knowledgeable and helpful making us comfortable with the experience. I’ll definitely use this company again! Thanks again Bo & Brandon!
Great 1st experience!! This was our 1st experience parasailing and it was a wonderful experience. Brayden & Brandon did a great job explaining what to expect and had fun with everyone that helped with the nerves. lol We picked your company because we watch a YouTube video and the couple recommended you, so if you are searching for a great & safe parasailing experience, pick this company.
Dave and Brayden were great. We felt safe, had fun, and would recommend this company to anyone who wants to try parasailing!
Braden and Brandon were great!! Great sense of humor and made everyone laugh. They definitely knew what they were doing and made the trip enjoyable and put those who were nervous at ease. They are wonderful and highly recommended going parasailing with “Just Chute Me” and requesting Brandon and Braeden. They were the best This was my third trip with this company and wouldn’t trust anyone else.
Brandon and Braden very friendly and we had a great time parasailing with your company. Will definitely return !! It was my 2nd time parasailing with y’all
Great time parasailing with the hubby and myself.. Fantastic experience and Jake and Brandon were fantastic throughout the whole trip.
I had an amazing time tandem parasailing with my daughter. Will use on our next trip to see dolphin or crab island. Definitely will parasail again
Great time parasailing! Staff was very friendly and professional. Brandon and Braydon were excellent on the boat making everyone in the family comfortable, even the smaller kids who were a little nervous since it was their first time. Highly recommend!
Went to two spots snorkeling, the jetty and the seagrass beds. We went to the gulf and the bay looking for dolphins. We saw several pods. A group swam directly under the boat. Some in our group saw a huge sea turtle. We had a hermit crab race from ones we got from the grass beds before releasing them. A person in our group got the coveted crab racing champion belt. The crew was very knowledgeable and helpful. A very good experience.
Kyle and Wesley did a great job! It was fun and informative! We enjoyed the snorkeling. They pointed out dolphins and sharks.
The pontoon boat was new and in terrific shape. The staff was friendly and efficient. Our family of six had a fabulous time out on the water. We saw a lot of dolphins. We will definitely do it again.
We had a great time on our sunset dolphin cruise!! Would definitely recommend Sunshine!

Great cruise with friendly staff! So pleasant and low key. Thank you for a great evening!
Wonderful experience. We did the sunset dolphin cruise one night and came back the next day for the snorkeling trip !!! Delightful both times !! Staff was very helpful!! Getting in an out of the boat for snorkeling was alot easier than I was expected. Staff was ready to assist if needed. We will be back !!! Thank you for the beautiful memories you helped create.

Rented a pontoon from Sunshine Destin for two of the days we were in Florida. The boats were in absolutely great condition. The staff was great and made sure we had everything we needed before heading out. They also recommended great areas to visit. We will definitely be using them again and will recommend to anyone going to Destin. Thank you all so much!!!
