Private Catamaran Bachelorette Cruise to Crab Island from Miramar Beach | Catamaran | Private

On the sugar-sand edge of Florida’s Emerald Coast, a private catamaran waits at Baytowne Marina for a six-hour celebration that trades clubs for sea breezes. Alys -Bachelorette Experience - Lady Delana offers a boutique charter departing from Baytowne Marina at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort, 8330 Mike Hayes Blvd, Miramar Beach, FL 32550. The itinerary cruises Choctawhatchee Bay, anchors at the shallow sandbars of Crab Island, and leaves plenty of time for floating, swimming, dancing, and sunset-worthy photos. This charter is built for groups of friends who want effortless fun: a champagne welcome toast, themed inflatables, three ice chests for drinks and snacks, and complimentary drone photos when available. The boat is available as a bareboat option with pricing listed as Boat: $1,623 + Captain's Fee: $910 + Estimated Fuel: $175 = Total Fun Price: $2,707.68; captain’s fee and fuel are paid directly to the captain the day of the charter. The operator provides a preapproved captain list after booking, and the cruise accommodates up to 13 guests. Choctawhatchee Bay’s shallow turquoise water and exposed sandbars shape the day here. Crab Island is the anchor point: a broad, low-shelf of sand and seagrass where boats anchor in waist- to chest-deep water and passengers gather on inflatables. Besides the scenery, keep an eye out for common bottlenose dolphins that thread the channel and shorebirds working the flats—local wildlife that turns ordinary cruising into a live marine show. Practical elements matter. Meet at Baytowne Wharf for boarding; weather cancellations allow full refunds or reschedules and the operator enforces a strict no-refund policy once a vessel departs the dock. The six-hour window creates enough time to split the day between high-energy partying at Crab Island and quieter cruising to sandbars or a waterfront restaurant stop. Why book this with Alys -Bachelorette Experience - Lady Delana? It packages a private catamaran, customizable music and decor, and optional catering into a single reservation, turning an ordinary girls’ weekend into a seamless coastal celebration. For groups based in Miramar Beach and Sandestin, it removes logistics and delivers the best of the Emerald Coast on a single floatable platform. Bring sun protection, plan to pay captain fees in cash or digital app, and reserve early during high season. Whether you want a boisterous float-up or a sunlit lounge with champagne, this six-hour charter makes a clear, celebratory claim on one of Florida’s most social shallow-water spots. Bring only plastic drinkware, follow the captain’s safety briefing, and expect to pay gratuity separately; the boat operator notes no refunds once the vessel leaves the dock. Book early for weekend slots and communicate any catering or theme requests at booking so the crew can stage inflatables, coolers, and drone time.
