Captain Chris and his crew, including Matthew, Kayden, Micah, and Kaeden, have built something special here. Reviewers consistently praise how friendly and knowledgeable these captains are, creating experiences that feel both professionally run and genuinely personal. The crew clearly loves what they do, and that passion shows in how they handle everything from explaining sailing techniques to sharing local restaurant recommendations. Guests mention seeing dolphins frequently, enjoying smooth sailing experiences, and feeling completely at ease on the water. The Space Dancer sailboat itself gets plenty of love, with options ranging from morning beach trips to sunset cruises and even fireworks sails. People appreciate the flexibility to help with the boat if interested or simply relax and take in the scenery. Multiple couples chose these trips for special occasions like anniversaries and even a proposal, which speaks to the romantic, memorable atmosphere. One reviewer noted minor maintenance issues like the bathroom light not working, but emphasized it didn't affect their excellent experience. Families with children and couples alike seem to have equally wonderful times, making this a versatile choice for different types of travelers visiting Destin.
We had a wonderful time with Captain Chris and Kayden! Having had to cancel our sunset sail due to bad weather, Chris took us out for his sailing and beach trip the next morning. We got to help with the boat, sailed out into the gulf with the wind in our hair, swam and paddle boarded at Okaloosa island, and had an amazing time. We even saw some dolphins on our way back! We will definitely be going out with them again on our next trip down! Thanks Capt. Chris and Kayden!
