We’re a locally operated water adventure company offering unforgettable experiences in Destin and Panama City Beach. From dolphin tours and snorkeling to sunset cruises and parasailing, everything we do is centered around safety, local knowledge, and having a great time on the water.
Our Captains
Our captains are local professionals who know these waters year-round. Every captain holds a valid U.S. Coast Guard Captain’s License and operates in full compliance with Florida boating regulations. Their experience and local knowledge allow them to navigate changing conditions while keeping every trip safe and enjoyable.
Beyond their qualifications, our captains bring personality and passion to every tour. From finding dolphins and calm snorkeling areas to sharing local insight and keeping the atmosphere fun and relaxed, they’re here to make sure your experience is smooth, memorable, and stress-free.
Most of all, they know how to have fun—and how to make sure you do too.
The Water & Scenery
The Emerald Coast is known for its clear, green-blue water and some of the softest white sand beaches in the world. Calm bays, shallow sandbars, and open Gulf waters create the perfect environment for boating, snorkeling, and wildlife encounters.
Whether you’re cruising the harbor, floating at Crab Island, or watching the sun set over the Gulf, the natural beauty of Destin and Panama City Beach plays a major role in every experience we offer.
Dolphins of the Emerald Coast
The most commonly seen dolphins in our area are bottlenose dolphins, which live here year-round. These intelligent and playful animals are often seen swimming alongside boats, jumping, and traveling in pods throughout the bays and nearshore Gulf waters.
Our dolphin tours are designed to observe dolphins responsibly in their natural habitat. Because every outing is different, each tour offers a unique opportunity to experience these animals in a respectful and memorable way.
Something for Every Kind of Adventure
We offer a wide range of water experiences designed to fit different interests and comfort levels. From laid-back cruises and wildlife encounters to family-friendly snorkeling trips and high-flying parasailing adventures, there’s something for everyone.
With locations in both Destin and Panama City Beach, each experience is tailored to what that area does best, giving guests an authentic and enjoyable way to explore the water.
From the moment you step aboard, our goal is to make your experience easy and enjoyable. Our crew will walk you through safety information, answer questions, and make sure you’re comfortable before getting underway.
Just bring your sense of adventure—we’ll handle the rest.
