A Word From Our Past Guests

It’s such a pleasure to get to sail with so many wonderful people from all over Florida, the United States, and the world. We appreciate the opportunity to show them around the Emerald Coast and be a part of their trip to Destin. Here’s what a few of our guests have said about the experience:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would definitely recommend Captain Bill and his boat for a great sailing experience. Captain Bill was so very accommodating and even cooked for us while we enjoyed relaxing, taking in the views, socializing with friends, visiting Crab Island, and learning a little about what it takes to sail a boat. This adventure will be talked about for a long time and we will definitely do it again. Jason Tatro
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had great experience with Captain Bill Anderson. My wife and I brought our 3 kids ages 10 to 15. Everyone had a fun trip. We motored up to the dolphin watch area and saw dolphins right away, plenty of time to take pictures. We then snorkeled and the kids enjoyed seeing the hermit crabs crawling around their feet. We finished the sail without the motor, just the wind in the sails. Very relaxing sitting up front with your toes in the water. Would definitely recommend taking this 3 hour cruise rather then being packed into a large boat with 50 or more strangers. Matt Knepper
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our sunset cruise with Captain Bill was one to remember. We enjoyed every second of it! My husband & I took this cruise celebrating our honeymoon and Captain Bill made this experience special for us. Super welcoming Captain & an even more awesome boat. If you’re ever in Destin, make sure you take this cruise! Laura D

HERE'S WHAT YOUR PEERS HAD TO SAY

Went on the two hour cruise yesterday at 6pm, and we all had a great time, especially the kids. The crew had the kids and adults laughing the entire time. I wanted to video the whole trip there were so many funny antics. My kids were asking today if we could go again. The weather for the 6pm sailing was great for July since it had rained earlier in the day and therefore not too hot.

Great hosts and a wonderful family atmosphere for my kids and grandkids. I highly recommend this cruise for a fun sunset evening. Wish more companies were as full of integrity as this one.

My family and I enjoyed the cruise. It was beautiful, plus we did get to see some dolphins. The entire process was very easy...from booking to getting the tickets to boarding.. I highly recommend it!

Great experience, we loved it. Lots of dolphins, excellent crew, awesome Captain. Enjoyed the great sceneries and a lot of fun!!!

Wonderful people and awesome views, especially the sunset view.

The crew was very friendly and helpful and the captain was informative as well as funny. And, we saw several dolphins!

We were very pleased. We saw many dolphins and sharks and the Captain and crew couldn't have been more informative or helpful. Very family-friendly and that made a huge impression on me. I would highly recommend this as a nice outing while visiting the area.

Learn More About Our Catamaran Sailboat!

What's so great about a catamaran? A catamaran denotes a boat with two hulls or compartments that enable the vessel to displace water evenly on both sides. This design allows the catamaran to avoid rocking, as a traditional, single-hulled sailboat does. For folks on vacation--this point is a gold nugget--those that are not accustomed to boats tend to get seasick.

Why the double-hull design is a vacationers best boat friend:

Stable, non-rocking design . Why is this important? Because as the hull heaves so may your stomach.

Plenty of storage space with 2 hulls . And, if the kids fight, we can separate them.

Speed. The catamaran is twice as fast as a traditional sailboat. Save the monohull for the land turtles! (Sea turtles are fast too.)

Light footprint. A Stiletto can maneuver in shallow water due to a broader displacement of water across two lightweight hulls (Crab Island, here we come!)

Built for comfort. You aren't awkwardly lounging on a sloping deck like a monohull sailboat.

Maximized deck space. The catamaran has two opposing benches with cushions, as well as 80 square feet of trampoline for lounging and watching the waves.

Stiletto Catamaran

If you are thinking of chartering just any ol' catamaran, let me tell you why the Stiletto brand makes this boat even groovier:

Built light for speed. Although you may want to relax on your Destin sailing cruise, never forget, this cat has speed in its back pocket. The catamaran tops out at 25 knots (20 mph). In Destin, we can safely cruise at 15 knots with the jib (front sail) raised, and feel the power.

It will never sink . Aeronautic technology is utilized in its honey comb laminate that enables the material itself to float, not relying on the intact body of the vessel. So, no matter what the Florida waters bring, this puppy floats.

Versatility of design. You can beach it; you can trailor it. When was the last time you saw a monohull sailboat pulled up on the beach or roaming down the highway? This boat goes everywhere. But watch out, you might catch catamaran fever thinking of the possibilities of where you could take it!

You are cool by proxy. Riding in our Stiletto catamaran brings you closer to the lastest version of the Stiletto XF, the foiling catamaran that once it reaches 14 knots, raises up and rides on hydrofoils, appearing to hover 2 feet above the water!

Catamaran Sailboat

The "Best Day Ever" Sailboat Cruise, 4-6 Hour Private Charter

At Captain Jambo's, We Know How To "Do" Destin.

Here is a write-up of a much loved itinerary that

may save you from being one of the many people

who ride into the dock thinking, "I wish I had

longer on the sailboat!"

The sails are set due south from Captain Jambo's

peaceful, scenic bay dock. With tummies full of

butterflies and expectations, we sail through the

glowing, emerald waves, under the Destin Bridge,

through the Destin Pass, and East and West Jetties to the magnificent Gulf of Mexico. Here, we look for bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine life. We sail along Florida's beaches, marveling at the beauty of the water and sugar white beach. Next, the sails are set north, back through the Destin Pass to the world famous, Crab Island. This shallow, clear sandbar is a hot spot for Destin boaters' fun in the sun. Catch a margarita or some fish tacos at the festive Waterworld Restaurant and Bar. Play with the kids on the giant, inflatable waterpark. Just remember, no babysitting your pontoon boat, come and go as you please to check out the festivities, your captain will be happy to hold the anchor! After you've had your fill of Crab lsland, we sail to the nearby grassbeds for snorkeling. Crabs and fish abound here. You might even spot a majestic seahorse! Take our underwater Gro Pro camera to document your adventure! Next door is one of the few areas to find seashells in Destin, so take some souvenirs home from your hunt. When your pockets are full, we will set sails again for a relaxing sail through the calm waters of the Choctawhatchee Bay, watching the explosive

colors of the sunset on this

incredible sailing day.

Finally, we head back to

the dock from where our

adventure began. Now,

the sailboat sails away,

leaving you sun-kissed

and ocean-drunk with a

mind full of memories of

an amazing Destin sail.

BEST SUNSET CRUISE

A Picturesque Panorama Of A Harbor With Vibrant Fireworks.

Let’s cut right to the chase – what you can expect is an unfettered view of the picturesque Destin area sunset while your private captain cruises you and your group around beautiful Santa Rosa Sound. It’s our favorite excursion for a reason, and we think you’ll agree with our customer reviews!

Your private sunset cruise in Fort Walton Beach is an unmatched value that comes with everything you’ll need to experience the view, and so much more:

No Rush Experience –  Our team isn’t looking to simply bus you out on the water, snap a couple of pictures, and rush you back in. Not today. Each sunset cruise is approximately two to three hours long – the ideal time for enjoyment and pictures to make your friends wish they were there!

Luxury Liner –  Sunset cruises with Destiny Water Adventures means you’ll be taking in the best Florida has to offer in style. Our luxury Pontoon Boat measures up at 24 feet – you can fit up to six people comfortably and have more than enough room to stretch out and enjoy the view.

Memories of a Lifetime –  The Emerald Coast is known for its breathtaking sights, and there is no better way to experience them than a sunset cruise in the Santa Rosa sound. Delight yourself in the warm Gulf Breeze as you are chauffeured around the beautiful emerald green waters of the Sound. You can enjoy the sunset from Destin Harbor as you watch the shimmering lights of the coastal skyline appear and reflect on the waters around you. If you prefer a more secluded outing then you can instead be guided around the Spoil Islands as you relax and lounge in the pleasures of experiencing the sunset and night sky while floating on the water.

And remember to be on the lookout, as our dolphin neighbors are known to regularly stop by for a visit.

Booking events separately by the hour, or simply trying to piece together your own excursion, ends up draining your wallet and killing the experience before it ever gets started. At Destiny Water Adventures, we combine everything you need (and more) to enjoy a sunset cruise into one low price – making it affordable for any size family.

Destin Sunset Cruise: Leaving Fort Walton Beach

There’s no better place to take in a beautiful sunset than the Destin area.

Clear skies and miles of beachfront give you pristine views of the most gorgeous sunset you’ll ever lay eyes on – but the BEST view comes from being on the water itself. 

If you’re looking for that viral Instagram shot, or just a serene night out on the water with the family or friends, Destiny Water Adventures’ sunset cruise in Fort Walton Beach, FL is the perfect night out. Enjoy quality time with loved ones while taking in the sights as you never have before, while your own personal captain takes you on a private sunset cruise departing from Fort Walton Beach. Yes please.

Destin Fire Works Cruise: Leaving Fort Walton Beach

Are you looking to catch a Destin fire works cruise but are running out of time!? Don’t want to be stuck a big boat with a hundred other people? We got you…
