Sip rare bourbons and taste premium chocolates aboard a private yacht cruising Destin Harbor. This 2–3 hour experience pairs curated tastings with coastal views and a local history of fishing and maritime culture.

The yacht slips away from a city lot across Highway 98 and the harbor opens like a bright basin of glass. Salt air tugs at your hair as the captain eases out into the main channel; the concierge lays out small squares of chocolate and brings forward taped vials of amber bourbon. Conversation drops to a low hum as the tasting begins — each sip warmed by sun and each bite sharpened by sea-borne breeze.
