About SunVenture Cruises

SunVenture Cruises has 20 years experience with cruises in the Destin area

SunVenture Cruises and its parent company, SunQuest Cruises, have been providing unforgettable experiences on the water for 20 years with a variety of cruises in the Destin area. From elegant Destin wedding venues to fun Crab Island cruises, SunQuest Cruises offers a multitude of unforgettable experiences on the water with cruises in Destin for all occasions and groups.

SunVenture Cruises joined the SunQuest Cruises family in 2012 as a leisure cruise option in the heart of the Destin Harbor. For 13 years, SunVenture Cruises has provided convenient cruise options for Sunset Dolphin Cruises, Destin Harbor Fireworks Cruises and Crab Island excursions, one of Destin Florida’s top attractions.

In 2019, SunVenture II joined the fleet. Today, SunVenture Cruises can accommodate up to 98 guests across both vessels. Both SunVenture I and II offer Crab Island Cruises, Sunset Dolphin Cruises and Fireworks Cruises from our Heron Harbor (Destin) and Santestin Resort locations.

SunVenture’s captains make safety and stellar customer service top priorities on all cruises. Based on testimonials alone, SunVenture Cruises has been awarded the “People Love Us on Yelp” award as well as Tripadvisor’s Certificate of Excellence award. Our customer testimonials center around our entertaining and helpful captains, unforgettable Destin cruise experiences and our great customer service.

The custom built SunVenture I & II are 45 foot sporty catamarans. The SunVenture vessels feature a state-of-the-art sound system, an open air deck, on-board restroom and a fold down ladder so guests can easily plunge into the pristine, waist-deep waters of Crab Island.

Be prepared to be entertained and educated! Our captains will share their intimate knowledge of Destin Florida on all the narrated cruises as passengers explore the sparkling waters and interact with sea life like dolphins, crabs and birds.

Families who live in and visit the area and wonder what to do in Destin beyond the beach can enjoy the local waters with relaxing and educational SunVenture dolphin cruises in Destin, experience an unbelievable Destin sunset cruise or enjoy a Crab Island Destin Cruise excursion.

The SunVenture’s 1 1/2 hour dolphin & sunset cruise in Destin lets guests experience the closest view of the dolphins on the sparkling Emerald Coast waters and other sea life such as sting rays and birds. Passengers will also have the best seat in the house for an unparalleled Destin sunset cruise as the sun sets over another day in paradise.

Only accessible by water, Crab Island is the most authentic Emerald Coast experience with panoramic views of the Destin Harbor and Destin bridge. Enjoy a worry-free day as our Coast Guard-licensed captain drives the boat for our Crab Island cruises. Once the SunVenture drops anchor during your 4-hour narrated Destin cruise, guests can jump into the waist-deep, pristine waters of Crab Island to play, mingle and relax. Enjoy the food vendors, kayaking and more. Please note that SunVenture Cruises is not responsible for vendors that operate at Crab Island, including whether or not they decide to operate on any given day.

You can enjoy the best of both worlds on our weekly Sunset Dolphin and Fireworks Destin Harbor Cruises. Cruising each Thursday in the summer, this 1.5 hour evening cruise explores the majestic area around the Destin Harbor as the sun sets over the iconic Destin bridge and dolphins play in the horizon. As the sun sets, the sky illuminates with fireworks from Emerald Grande and Harborwalk Village. You get the best view in the house of the Destin fireworks from your private seat on the SunVenture.

The state-of-the-art sound system and open deck on both catamarans make it an ideal venue for any private cruise, Destin boat rental and/or event in Destin. Hosting up to 98 people altogether, the SunVenture catamarans are great for relaxing in the sun at Crab Island in Destin or dancing under the stars as your own private Destin party boat. Perfect Destin cruise for a Destin bachelorette / bachelor celebration, corporate events/retreats, birthday / anniversary celebrations, brunches and more. You also get access to our full-time Destin event planners who are experienced and creative in helping you customize your private event.
