Catamaran sail, cooler with ice
Step aboard a catamaran for sailing and sightseeing on Choctawhatchee Bay. Enjoy time on the water whether you are new to sailing or experienced.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before arrival. No refunds for later cancellations or no-shows. If the captain cancels due to unfavorable weather or waves, reschedule or receive a full refund. If weather ends the sail within the first hour, reschedule or refund; after more than half, it counts as a charter.
Bring sunscreen (apply before you get on the boat, ideally inside in a cool place), sunglasses (polarized), a hat, a lightweight shirt, swimwear, towels, a camera, and beverages/food for your trip. Bring cash for gratuities.
Life jackets required by the US Coast Guard are provided, and you can bring your own if you prefer. Children age 6 and under must wear a life jacket while the vessel is underway; minors may take it off when the vessel is docked or anchored. For ages 7–12, life jacket use is at the parent’s discretion.
Meet at Adventure Marina and check in down at the water behind the Tackle and Bait Shop.

Captain Kip and Elizabeth have clearly mastered the art of making guests feel special on the water. With a perfect 5-star track record, reviewers consistently praise their friendly, knowledgeable approach and the relaxed atmosphere they create. These are private charters on a 27-foot catamaran that seats up to six, so you get an intimate experience perfect for families or small groups. Guests love lounging on beanbag chairs under sail power, enjoying the peace without motor noise. Dolphin sightings are a frequent highlight, and several reviews mention stops at Crab Island for swimming and snorkeling. The captains clearly know where to find wildlife and the best spots to explore. Families with kids rave about how welcoming and patient both hosts are, and the experience has even served as the backdrop for a successful proposal during a sunrise cruise. Multiple guests called it the highlight of their vacation, citing everything from sunset cruises to mid-morning sails as relaxing, fun, and memorable ways to experience the Destin waters.
