Crab Island Days are Here!

Let Us Take You……The SunVenture is a 45 foot water lovers sporty Catamaran docked at the heart of the Destin Harbor.

As the Emerald Coast’s only licensed and insured Crab Island Excursion catamaran, the SunVenture and its Coast-Guard licensed captains ‘venture’ out daily for dolphin, sunset, fireworks and Crab Island cruises.

The most popular cruise option is SunVenture’s Crab Island excursions. Located at the Destin Bridge, the underwater sandbar known as Crab Island is the place where everyone anchors their boats and spends a day in the waist-deep emerald green waters. With picturesque views of the Destin bridge, Crab Island offers everything from live music and water slides to floating food vendors, paddle boarding and relaxing in the water.

Crab Island is only accessible by boat. SunVenture’s Coast-guard licensed captains charter the three hour cruise so guests can enjoy a worry-free day on the water.

The close proximity to the water and open-air sky deck offers SunVenture guests the closest views of the dolphins on an hour and half narrated and educational sunset cruise. Every Thursday in the summer, the SunVenture sets out for a magical evening on its one-hour Harbor Fireworks cruise.

SunVenture’s private cruises in Destin offer the boat and the captain for any group up to 49 people. The catamaran features a state-of-the-art sound system, open deck, event planners and catering options. Ideal for brunches, bachelor / bachelorette parties, birthdays, family reunions, military reunions and weddings.

The SunVenture I is located just east of the Destin Bridge at 314 Harbor Blvd in Destin Florida. View our Destin cruises schedule here or call our office at 850.424.6465.

Memorial Day Weekend in Destin Fla | SunVenture Cruises

Memorial Day weekend in Destin Florida is the official kick off to the summer season and what better way to celebrate than on the water. The SunVenture’s new home on the Destin Harbor put this water lovers boat in the heart of all the action, providing a number of different water ad’ventures’.

The only way to truly celebrate Memorial Day in Destin is a Crab Island, situated just a few minutes boat ride from the Destin Harbor. While not technically an island any longer, this underwater sandbar can range between 2 – 10 feet deep when the tide goes out. With crystal clear water, this is the ultimate spot to anchor the boat and have some summer fun in the waist-deep waters. Our captains will charter you out there for a worry-free day in the sun as you mingle with the locals. The SunVenture also offers lunch options for this 6-hour Crab Island excursion as well as kayak and paddleboard rentals to enjoy on the water.

Some people say that the dolphins are the good will ambassadors for the Emerald Coast. While cruising the waterways on our narrated Eco-Dolphin cruises, you will have a really good chance to observe dolphins playing and feeding in their natural habitat. It is an exciting and memorable experience to share with your entire family during your beach vacation in Destin. Eco-dolphin cruises are available daily ranging in times from mid-morning to evening / sunset cruises.

Our eco-dolphin / sunset cruise gives you a front row seat for the best place in Destin to experience one of nature’s most breathtaking sunset views. As you cruise the Destin Harbor, you’ll watch the sun descend under the Destin bridge and the sparkling emerald green waters.

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!
