Full-Day Catamaran Charter to Crab Island from Miramar Beach | Catamaran | Private

On the Emerald Coast of northwest Florida, an eight-hour private catamaran charter departing from Baytowne Marina at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort in Miramar Beach promises a day built around warm water, wide horizons, and easygoing company. Alys 8-Hour Charter - Lady Delana runs as a private hire for up to 13 guests, giving groups time to anchor at the shallow sandbar known as Crab Island, explore nearby beaches and sheltered coves, and craft an itinerary for family outings, celebrations, or a bachelorette escape. Boarding begins at Baytowne Marina (8330 Mike Hayes Blvd, Miramar Beach, FL), where your licensed captain will brief the group and set a course through the emerald-green bay. The catamaran’s twin hulls provide stable deck space for sunbathing on floating lounge mats, socializing under shaded seating, and moving around safely to photograph the shoreline. Expect stretches of clear, shallow water, sandbars, and seagrass flats that shelter small fish and shorebirds; the shallow anchor at Crab Island creates a natural party zone where families float, swim, and picnic. What makes this charter stand out is the blend of private control and local guidance. Captains are pre-approved licensed professionals who know tides, quiet coves, and scenic turning points along the coast. The full eight hours means you can linger where the water is calm, hop across to lesser-visited beaches, or time a slow cruise to chase late-afternoon light back toward the marina. Onboard conveniences—Bluetooth speakers, cooler space, floating mats, and a toilet—mean a long day on the water stays comfortable. Practical details matter. The experience is offered as a bareboat charter with independent captains; captain and fuel fees are paid separately. Weather-driven cancellations receive full refunds or reschedules, and the posted cost breakdown includes boat, captain, and fuel estimates. Optional catering and food add-ons are available for groups that want a plugged-in celebration. Why choose this trip? For groups that value flexibility, privacy, and a full-day pace, an eight-hour charter unlocks more than a snapshot of the coast: it turns swimming stops into relaxed afternoons, photo opportunities into golden-hour runs along open water, and routine outings into curated coastal adventures. Whether you’re anchoring at Crab Island, drifting near sandbars, or cruising the arc of the shoreline, this private catamaran day offers an intimate, practical way to experience the Emerald Coast. Pricing typically starts at $2,558 total for the eight-hour charter, with captain and fuel fees paid separately (example: boat $1,558; captain $800; fuel $200). Arrive early to load coolers and gear, and consider reserving optional catering if you want a sit-down meal. The vessel meets US Coast Guard standards and includes a toilet plus shaded seating, which keeps long trips comfortable for families. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and hat.
