The company offers three signature trips: a Crab Island Private Boat Tour with premium amenities like a floating mat, paddleboard, and snorkel gear; a Sunset Dolphin or Fireworks Cruise for evening scenic cruises and waterfront fireworks viewing; and a combined Crab Island + Sunset/Firework Private Charter, a six-hour private pontoon option that blends swimming, dolphin watching, and fireworks from the water.
Coastal Cruise focuses on tailored, private charters for families, groups of friends, and small celebrations, providing flexible itineraries and on-water comfort. Each trip departs from Destin and showcases local marine life, coastal views, and popular destinations such as Crab Island. Safety and guest comfort are emphasized through life jackets, local knowledge of weather and tides, and careful planning for anchor stops and swim time.
Reservations are arranged as private charters, allowing guests to customize timing, stops, and onboard amenities. The fleet centers on private pontoons designed for leisure cruising and shallow-water anchoring at sandbars. Coastal Cruise's offerings make it simple to combine daytime activities — snorkeling, paddleboarding, and floating — with evening experiences like sunset watching and fireworks viewing from the water.
