Cruising Through Fall Ventures

Cruising Through Fall Ventures

Summer 2013 is ‘unofficially’ over and we’re on the heels of another spectacular fall season. It truly is one of the best times of the year to visit for many reasons. Less humidity, lower rates, smaller crowds, less traffic, migrating butterflies….we could go on and on.

Our regular cruise schedule is dwindling down as well but Captain Rick is always looking for an excuse to get on the water. The SunVenture is available throughout the fall for any private cruises for up to 49 people. We can accommodate anything from catering to Crab Island excursions. Just ask and we can make it happen.

Many of our guests have found that the SunVenture makes for a fun, unique ‘venture’ for anything from corporate retreats, activities during business conferences, girls’ weekends and more.

If you are fortunate enough to visit Destin Florida in the fall, give us shout and we’ll help you cruise through a memorable fall ‘venture’ in Destin.

Life is too Short to Worry

Life is too Short to Worry

Last week, we talked about how you deserve to play as hard as you work. Hitting the water is one of the most popular ways to not only enjoy the Destin life, but a very relaxing way to spend time with family and friends. Relaxing, that is, for everyone who is NOT driving the boat.

You can rent the boat and the captain on the SunVenture. Sit back and relax while Captain Rick charters the waters, gives you an entertaining narrative of the Destin life and drops anchor at Crab Island. It’s a worry-free day on the water that everyone deserves. We’ll even bring food!

The SunVenture can host up to 49 people for any private charter to see the dolphins, sunset, Crab Island or anywhere else along the local waters.

Life is short….live it up worry free on the SunVenture!
