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.
Our family had such a great time with Captain Kip and Elizabeth today! My daughter had a blast on the catamaran with them a few years ago. So our whole fam got to go this year. It’ll be a must do every year now! Highly recommend 💓
