Docked at the marina at The Village of Baytowne Wharf, the SunVenture I is a 45-foot catamaran, and it’s the only family boat excursion available east of Destin.
SunVenture’s eco/dolphin/sunset cruises feature a 2-hour narrated tour that enables guests to explore Choctawhatchee Bay and experience Emerald Coast sea life up close (including dolphins, sting rays and birds). The 2-hour cruises are offered at 6 p.m., four to five times every week, for $30 per adult and $18 for children 2 to 14 years old. Infants 1 and under are free. (This applies to both the dolphin and Crab Island Cruises.)
If you’re craving a different kind of wild life, you can take a fun cruise over to Crab Island — consistently rated as one of the top “things to do” in Destin. There, guests can jump into waist-deep emerald green waters, mingle with friends, relax, and play. These 5-hour Crab Island cruises are offered every Sunday at 11 a.m. ($45 per adult, $25 for children 2 to 13 years old, and infants 1 and under 3 are free).
“It’s almost like having your own party boat, but you can leave the driving to Captain Rick, a seasoned boating veteran who knows the Emerald Coast waters like the back of his hand,” said SunQuest Cruises general manager, James Murray, Jr.
The SunVenture’s open deck and state-of-the-art sound system also make it a great venue for private parties (up to 49 people!), including weddings, rehearsal dinners, receptions, corporate outings, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and more.
Whatever the occasion, the SunVenture is a fantastic way for water lovers in the Sandestin, Scenic Highway 30A and South Walton areas to explore some of the area’s top attractions and natural habitats.
