Spend three hours aboard a spacious Stiletto catamaran cruising Destin’s emerald waters—watch dolphins, anchor at Crab Island, or snorkel shallow reefs. This private, family-friendly charter pairs relaxed sailing with local knowledge and safety-first service.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran heels gently, the Stiletto’s trampoline vibrating underfoot as a Gulf breeze pushes you away from the marina and into a stretch of clear emerald water. Sunlight skitters across wake-lines while dolphins thread the wake, curious and quick. In three hours you’ll trade the harbor’s clamor for open water, anchor at a sandbar, or drift under sail as a USCG‑licensed captain trims canvas and points toward Crab Island.

Sun protection is essential
The Gulf sun is strong even on overcast days—use reef‑safe sunscreen and a wide‑brim hat to avoid sunburn on the open deck.
Arrive early for boarding
Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before departure to check in, stow gear, and get a safety briefing without rushing.
Bring seasickness remedies
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding—open-air cockpit and looking at the horizon help.
Protect electronics and valuables
Store phones and cameras in waterproof cases or dry bags; the trampoline and bow get spray and sudden movement.

Protects skin and local marine life while you’re exposed on deck.
