From the end of March through October, the U.S. Navy’s Flight Demonstration Squadron, the world famous Blue Angels, practice in the skies of their home base of Pensacola. The practices are typically scheduled mornings at 10:30 a.m., Tuesdays and Wednesdays, taking off from Pensacola Naval Air Station, near the National Naval Aviation Museum.

The Blue Angels fly over the waters of Pensacola Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, offering an excellent view to boaters. Our cruise is the only Pensacola Beach Blue Angels Cruise that stops at Sand Island, a 40 ft sand dune island, from which you can view the Blues up close and personal. If you’ve never seen a Blue Angels show performance, here’s your chance. Skip the crowds and the drive across town, join us for a unique perspective of the show. Blues cruises depart at 9:30 a.m. and are about three hours long. Along the way, we will look for dolphins and other wildlife.
