Celebrate Memorial Day in Destin Florida with a Bang!

Celebrate Memorial Day in Destin Florida with a Bang!

The month of May is filled with activity as the school year ends, graduation ceremonies occur and we honor those who sacrifice their lives for our freedom. Memorial Day weekend is about spending time with family and friends as you celebrate the start of a ‘fun in the sun’ summer. There’s no better place than Destin Florida to celebrate with sugar white beaches and a plethora of Destin Florida attractions to keep you busy.

What would Memorial Day be without fireworks? The SunVenture crew is planning the ultimate celebration, combining dolphins, a stunning sunset and colorful fireworks. The weekend kicks off Friday, 5/24 with a dolphin and sunset cruise, followed by a 5 hour excursion to Crab Island on Sunday which is sure to be the central point of all the fun.

Sunday night, the SunVenture will head out for a specialty cruise that will end with a bang. Sightsee with the dolphins and cruise into the sunset. Then enjoy the best seat in the house with a panaromic view of the fireworks from the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

Memorial Day is one of the busiest weekends in Destin Florida but luckily you don’t have to drive into Destin to catch a cruise or see the fireworks. Just park at the Sandestin Resort and spend your precious time on the water, not in gridlock.

This cruise will book up quickly, limited to the first 49 people. Call 850.650.2519.

Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive the Boat

Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive the Boat

You’re getting on a boat to have fun in the sun and water. So why would you want to worry about gassing up the boat and driving while you watch your friends have fun? The SunVenture offers the best of both worlds…a private boat that our captains will drive so you can enjoy a worry-free day of fun in the sun.

The SunVenture is a perfect Destin private cruise option for any group from 5 to 49 who want an affordable private boat experience without having to drive. Just load up your friends and tell Captain Rick where you want to go – Crab Island, dolphins, sunset, whatever! He’ll even play DJ with the SunVenture’s state-of-the-art sound system.

We can even assist with food. We have scheduled ladies’ brunches and brought freshly grilled hamburgers on board to enjoy during your ‘venture’.

Our schedules are extremely flexible – just call our office at 850.424.6465.

Ad’ventures’ of the SunVenture I | Destin Dolphin Cruise

Captain Rick and the SunVenture team have had a blast cruising the water with visitors to explore Destin’s history and play with the dolphins. This spring has produced some breathtaking sunsets and some energetic dolphins.


Captain Rick figured out quickly how smart those dolphins are swimming close to the Lori Ann shrimp boat. If you want to see dolphins, there’s a good chance it will happen by following behind that shrimp boat as it cruises towards the Destin Harbor on SunVenture’s weekly dolphin and sunset cruises.

The warmer weather is also bringing back the fun crowds to Crab Island. Each Sunday, the SunVenture ‘ventures’ out there for a six hour excursion of playing and relaxing in the waist deep emerald green waters.

Don’t just hear about it…experience it. Check out our weekly cruise schedule and get on the water!

Crab Island in Destin FloridaThe forecast is looking bright for SunVenture’s 2013 season. This Sunday is our very first 2013 cruise to Crab Island – marking the official beginning of another fun-filled season in Destin Florida. It’s by far one of the most popular Destin Florida attractions for many reasons.

Where else can you enjoy this panoramic view of the Destin bridge and the Destin Harbor? Where else can you hang out in waist deep, emerald green waters while you relax and play in the sun?

The SunVenture is the only cruise option to Crab Island east of the Destin Harbor so you don’t have to battle traffic and parking into Destin. Instead, just park the car at the crab island destin florida cruiseSandestin resort and let our captains do the driving while you sit back and relax. Once we drop anchor at Crab Island, the fun starts as everyone gathers in the water, listens to music and plays in the pristine waters. There’s truly no other experience like it and guaranteed not to be your last.

Make your reservation today and go where the locals go for a truly authentic Destin Florida experience.

What will Your Venture Be?

What will Your Venture Be?

It’s hard to believe that we’re halfway through July already. Destin beach vacations are well underway but if you ever wonder what there is to do in Destin beyond the beach, consider a venture you will never forget with family, friends or colleagues.

The SunVenture catamaran is a unique experience the moment you arrive on the boat. You’ll jump into a sea of Guy Harvey artwork, indicative of the experience that awaits you. Along with the colorful, sea-themed artwork, you’ll be greeted by Captain Rick and Captain Rod, who will not only make your Destin Florida cruise fun and memorable but educational.

Every SunVenture experience is different, adventurous and distinctive. From up close and personal interactions with dolphins to exploring historical shipwrecks, the SunVenture’s narrated tours give you the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing and fun time on the water. You never know what you will encounter as you cruise the emerald green waters – even rare spider crabs.

The community’s response to our new ‘venture’ has been tremendous as well as the memories, experiences and friends we’ve made along the way. Our customers sure do appreciate a new cruise option for the South Walton/ 30 a / Sandestin area so they don’t have to fight the traffic into Destin to catch a dolphin/sunset or Crab Island cruise.

Crab Island is in peak season right now and definitely a top rated thing to do in Destin. There’s not many places where you can jump in waist deep emerald green waters to play basketball, listen to music, jump on trampolines, swim up to a restaurant, mingle and play – all with the stunning Destin bridge and Destin Harbor as a backdrop. Sounds like a dream, we know, but it’s real and you have to experience it for yourself before the summer ends.

Our Destin private cruise schedule is extremely flexible. We recently hosted an amazing group of ladies from the Mississippi Builders Association for a fun Saturday brunch cruise. We’re up for anything….just ask. We even offer an amazing dinner & dancing cruise aboard our sister yacht, the SOLARIS, for a Destin dining experience you won’t forget (even Destin fireworks cruises available).

So whatever type of Destin cruise you’re seeking – we can make it happen. Contact us today!
