Chasing Tail Tours is a Destin, Florida-based charter company that specializes in small-group and private boat tours on the Gulf of Mexico. The company offers three core experiences: the Sunset Charter, a two-hour cruise featuring dolphin viewing, hidden islands, and paddleboarding; the Sunrise Charter, a peaceful morning trip for wildlife viewing and island exploration; and the Three Hour Charter, a longer excursion that includes dolphin encounters, sandbar stops, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and visits to Crab Island with its floating vendors.
All trips are led by a local captain who personalizes each itinerary to match guest interests, weather conditions, and sea state. Routes focus on calm, shallow Gulf waters, scenic photo opportunities, and opportunities to encounter dolphins, seabirds, and coastal habitats. Trips emphasize private, relaxed experiences rather than large commercial tours.
Chasing Tail Tours markets its departures from Destin and structures excursions to suit families, couples, and small groups seeking a tailored on-water experience. Equipment and activities available depend on the selected trip and typically include paddleboards and snorkeling gear when appropriate. Safety briefings are provided before departures and captains adjust plans for conditions and guest comfort.
Prospective guests can review offered itineraries, availability, and booking details on the company’s online listings. For travelers seeking a short sunset cruise, an early-morning wildlife outing, or a three-hour day trip with island and sandbar stops, Chasing Tail Tours provides destination-specific charters focused on local scenery and marine wildlife.
