The SOLARIS slips away from Sandestin’s marina as the sky goes soft and wide, three decks catching the last light while gulls wheel and the Gulf dares you to slow down. Onboard, glass windows frame low horizons and an open-air skydeck lets coastal breezes push against your jacket — the sea feels alive beneath the hull.

The SOLARIS slips away from Sandestin’s marina as the sky goes soft and wide, three decks catching the last light while gulls wheel and the Gulf dares you to slow down. Onboard, glass windows frame low horizons and an open-air skydeck lets coastal breezes push against your jacket — the sea feels alive beneath the hull.
This stretch of Northwest Florida coastline sits where the Emerald Gulf meets long, sandy spits formed by Pleistocene and modern sediment transport. The Sandestin resort and Baytowne Wharf grew with beach tourism in the late 20th century; seafood and Southern hospitality remain central to local culture. Live music aboard the SOLARIS amplifies the region’s laid-back celebratory streak and the menu leans Gulf-forward — shrimp, crab, and bronzed fish feature heavily.
Expect three hours of relaxed cruising: a welcome aboard, an open-deck promenade, a plated salad and choice of entrees, then dessert while live entertainment continues. The vessel’s design prioritizes sightlines — panoramic windows, outdoor rail access, and an inviting skydeck for stargazing after dinner.
Practical notes: depart after sunset, arrive early to stroll Baytowne Marina, and dress smart-casual with a windproof layer. Seas can be calm but a light roll is possible; those prone to motion sickness should prepare. Wheelchair access and infant seats are available, and gratuities are not included. If you want the pilothouse view, say hello to the captain — but keep voices low while guests dine. This cruise is ideal for couples, small groups, and anyone wanting a boldly scenic evening without a strenuous itinerary.
