Joining Regularly Scheduled Day Charters
Afternoon Snorkle and Sail
Cruise
Why
just go snorkeling when you can go snorkeling AND sailing!! This cruise
departs around noon depending upon the tidal currents and winds forecasted
for that particular day. When currents are favorable we prefer to visit
our favorite snorkel spot just under the Destin Bridge. Sometimes we will
go outside the Pass just to the West side of the Jetties. We feature the
best quality snorkeling gear which comes complimentary with your cruise.
Once
we have anchored in our snorkeling spot we join passengers in the water
and provide "easy instruction" in snorkeling technique. Underwater disposable
cameras are available for purchase in our shop and are great fun to have
along. Grass beds are our favorite spot for they are great habitat for
fish and other sealife. We ask that you do not take any of the sealife
out of the water but leave them for all others to enjoy!! For those of
you who want to lounge on deck between dives, bring your beach towels..
we also feature relaxing music on deck during the dives and during the
sail. After our refreshing swim, we cast off, raise our sails, and enjoy
an exhilarating sail in the Bay or Gulf.
Rates and Reservations: Our Snorkel and Sail cruises are 2 1/2
hours and cost $40 for Adults and $25 for children under 12 years. Snorkel
gear is included in the price of the charter. Call a day or two
ahead for reservations.
The Sunset Cruise
The
Sunset is the favorite time of day on the Coast and we'll have you in
the best place on the planet to see this one.. on the deck of a graceful
sailing schooner.. The Daniel Webster Clements! We'll set sail
in late afternoon and return to the dock at sundown. We always try to
sail in the Gulf when it is comfortable and it generally is very comfortable,
especially on our very wide, and heavy wooden schooner. We sail out the
East Pass, through the rock jetties, past the seabouys and out into the
Gulf! Our huge white sails will tower overhead as we cut through the waves
and the crystal clear Gulf waters. We generally sail out quite a way or
"tack" up and down the coastline depending on the wind direction.
The
sounds and feel of the wooden ship underway will take you back centuries
to the days sailing vessels ruled the seas. The experience is indescribable.
You can join in with us sailing the ship or simply sit back and relax
while taking this all in and listening to your favorite "island" tunes
played softly on deck. Dolphin
generally come to the boat and swim alongside or we may see a big sea
turtle lumber by. Every sail is a little different but equally intriguing.
As on all of our charters you are welcome to bring your own drinks or
purchase our water, juice and soft drinks for only a dollar. You can even
bring a picnic snack, but we'll have you back to the dock in time for
your dinner reservations.
Rates and Reservations: The Sunset Cruise is 2 1/2 hours and
costs $40 for adults and $25 for children under 12 years.
Call a day or two ahead for reservations.
