Destin Yachting The Ultimate Yachting Experience in Destin & 30A!

A Miami - Mediteranean Style Charter 

with a New Orleans Flare!

Happy Hour is a 63’ Private Yacht that  is lightly chartered.

30A & Destin Boarding!

Half day starting at $3,200, 6 hrs starting at $4,000, 8 hrs starting at $4,800, sunset cruise special, vip private chef…check it out, veuve clicquot packages, the yachting lifestyle.

Happy Hour is a luxurious 63' Euro-Yacht. 

Unlike other charter yachts in the area, Happy  Hour is “lightly” chartered, so she has the feel of a “private yacht”. She also has a shallow draft which alllows her to get into shallow areas like Crab Island and Noriega Point. This allows you to get into the thick of the action rather than just be a spectator from afar. 

The Ultimate Yachting Experience!

We love YOU our valued guests and we love getting pics and video from you. This video was made with images and video provided by  a few of our charter clients Making Memories! See why Destin Yachting provides Destin’s Ultimate Luxury Yachting Experience!

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

WOW!! What an incredible day! Spent the day out on the water while down for vacation it was a day my wife and I will never forget! The boat was absolutely amazing. We have spent time out on the ocean before but nothing like this. The boat caption put us right on a pod of dolphins and was the closest we have ever been to seeing dolphins next to a boat was truly a sight to see! Spent some time out at crab island which was really nice. Water was chilly but that didn’t stop us from having a good time the music was great which made the day seemed like it flew by! To top it all off the sunset ride back in was absolutely breathtaking! This company really knows what they are doing to capture all the great parts of Destin from the water! Can’t wait to be back and do it all over again!

What an amazing experience!!! The boat is hands down one of the nicest boats I've been on. It's very pristine, spacious, and luxurious. The owners are incredibly friendly and the captain was fantastic. He guided us safely to Crab Island once the sky cleared up over, since it had rained a bit! On the way back, they pointed out some dolphins and the kids loved it! 12 out of 10 experince! I cannot recommend this experience more! Thanks Marietta and Ken!

Here’s What People are Saying

“The most MAGICAL experience that created a lifelong memory for my parents who were celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary. The boat is simply stunning, the online pictures do not convey the size and attention to elegant detail throughout the vessel. The captain and first mate were very attentive, friendly, and authentically engaged during our excursion. Overall, the entire experience was sensational, unforgettable, and perfect in every way.”

“If I could give 10 stars I would. I was planning my best friend’s bachelorette weekend and SO happy that I found them. The Bella Roma is truly the most beautiful boat I’ve ever seen or been on and the crew is AMAZING. We had the time of our lives and were so sad when the day was over. Easily the HIGHLIGHT of the bachelorette weekend. The space is clean, luxurious and spacious. I could not recommend them enough!!!!”

Propelled by jets of water, the Flyboard rockets users above or below the surface. A nozzle under the board bursts with 90% of the propulsion, allowing users to move around by tilting their feet and the board itself. Meanwhile, nozzles on the hands help fliers stabilize, much like poles to a skier or spaghetti noodles to a tightrope walker. Most users get the hang of the beginner-friendly controls and movements within 5 minutes or less.

Table of Contents

Last Updated on July 19, 2024 by Boatsetter Team

Florida’s 1,320 miles long coastline is diverse beaches that cater to every taste. From the white sand beaches of the Gulf Coast to the wave-rich shores of the Atlantic, and the emerald waters of the Panhandle, it should come as no surprise that approximately 79.8 million visitors traveled to Florida for beach and water activities in 2021. Whether you’re seeking a sandbar , a beach town, or just plain fun, explore the best beaches in Florida.

Siesta Key Beach

Siesta Key, Florida.

Ranked No. 1 in the U.S. by coastal expert Dr. Stephen Leatherman (known as “Dr. Beach”) and Trip Advisor, Siesta Key Beach is known for its powder-soft, quartz-crystal sand and turquoise waters. Hop on a boat for a couple hours of swimming and sunbathing. Then, dock at Siesta Key Village, a beachy shopping and dining area with tropical bars and many great spots for picture taking.

Dry Tortugas National Park

Dry Tortugas National Park (Florida)

For the adventurer, Dry Tortugas National Park is an unparalleled destination. Located about 70 miles west of Key West, this remote park is only accessible by boat or seaplane. The crystal-clear waters surrounding the park’s seven small islands are perfect for snorkeling and diving, with vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life. Anchor near Fort Jefferson, a massive 19th-century fortress, and explore its rich history before taking a refreshing dip in the surrounding azure waters.

Caladesi Island State Park

Caladesi Island Beach.

Caladesi Island is one of the few completely natural islands along Florida’s Gulf Coast, never having been connected to the mainland. This unspoiled barrier island boasts white sand beaches and clear, shallow waters perfect for anchoring. Boaters can enjoy the island’s natural beauty, including mangrove-fringed kayak trails. In the warmer months, particularly late spring to early fall, are the best times to spot manatees in the surrounding waters.

Bahia Honda State Park

bahia honda state park

Come to Bahia Honda State Park, one of the few places in the Florida Keys where visitors can see both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean from the same beach. The park offers excellent snorkeling opportunities, particularly at Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary. Boaters can anchor off the beach and enjoy swimming, fishing, or simply relaxing on the soft sand. Built in the early 20th century as part of the Overseas Railroad, the Bahia Honda Bridge offers a striking backdrop for pictures.

Fort Clinch State Park

Fort Clinch State Park

Fort Clinch State Park, perched on the northern tip of Amelia Island, is a treasure trove for history buffs and nature lovers alike. With its circa-1864 fort, a remarkably preserved piece of Civil War history and nearly a mile of Atlantic shoreline and an additional 2.5 miles along the St. Marys Inlet and Amelia River have ample space to drop anchor and explore. The northern beaches of Amelia Island are a goldmine for shark tooth hunters. Look for teeth from white sharks, tiger sharks, bull sharks, and lemon sharks.

UPDATE: 2023/10/04 17:41 EST BY NOAH STAATS

There Are Two More Reasons Everyone Loves Destin, Florida!

This post has been refreshed with two new reasons everybody loves Destin, FL, as well as expanded points on current reasons. Destin is considered one of the many jewels within the Sunshine State, and for good reason. Have fun visiting!

You're In The Iconic Florida Panhandle

One main reason people adore Destin is because it's one of the many jewels within the Florida Panhandle. When coming to the Sunshine State, it's worth understanding where the Panhandle is and why it's so important. Destin is tucked at the northwest tip of Florida, in the area known as the Panhandle. The weather is nicer here throughout the year, often being cooler than areas in Central and South Florida. On any given day, someone can expect to be more comfortable outdoors in Destin than, let's say, Miami Beach. Destin's northern location also allows for easy access to nearby states, like Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.

The Florida Panhandle consists of countless beachside cities and towns, including Destin, Pensacola, Navarre, Panama City Beach, and Tallahassee. This area is known for milder summers, easier access to other states, and tends to be less crowded than places like Miami Beach or Key West.

Henderson Beach State Park

Henderson Beach State Park , with its refreshing environment and mile-long sugar-white sand beach, is unquestionably one of Destin, Florida's main draws. The beach distinguishes itself from other Destin beaches due to its composition of pure Appalachian quartz. The sand provides a cool respite from the summer sun and lends an emerald hue to the clear waters, mesmerizing visitors. There are numerous campsites, grilling and picnicking areas, and nature trails in the park, so a visit there is jam-packed with enjoyable activities.

Dolphin Cruise

A visit to Destin would be incomplete without a dolphin cruise, which allows visitors to see marine mammals in their natural habitat. Seeing these adorable sea creatures can add an exciting twist to any Destin vacation. The Gulf of Mexico Dolphin Cruise by Viator is one of the company's best tours, taking visitors to a location where they can see dolphins swim, play, and jump along the Emerald Coast. During this 1.5-hour cruise from Destin Harbor, the crew will provide live commentary, helping passengers learn about the area's history and marine life.

Golf Courses

Destin, with four championship golf courses and country clubs, is a mecca for those who enjoy practicing their swings. The town's mild climate and breathtaking natural surroundings also provide an ideal setting for golfing all year. The challenging layouts, well-kept fairways, and breathtaking views on golf courses appeal to golfers of all skill levels, from amateurs to professionals. Furthermore, the town has a vibrant golfing community, excellent golf academics, and excellent facilities, all of which contribute to a memorable golfing experience.

Destin Harbor Boardwalk

The Destin Harbor Boardwalk, a lively waterfront promenade that offers a delightful mix of recreation, dining, and shopping opportunities, is another compelling reason to visit Destin, Florida. With its breathtaking harbor views, passing boats, and lively atmosphere, the boardwalk is undoubtedly a great place for leisurely strolls. Visitors can sample fresh seafood at waterfront restaurants or indulge their shopping urges at boutiques, gift shops, and art galleries. The boardwalk's exciting events, live performances, and fireworks displays add to the excitement.

Sugar White Beaches

Destin, Florida, is home to a few of the world's most beautiful beaches. These beaches have powdery white sand shorelines, and the waters on each side are a vibrant green. Sugar-white beaches that are genuinely unique may be found all the way to the area between Pensacola and Port St. Joe along this length of coastline. The sand is so pure and thin that visitors can almost hear its sound as they walk through it to reach their destination.

Crab Island

On the globe, tourists won't find a spot just like Crab Island. Crab Island used to be an island, but it has been eroded by particles of sand that have accumulated in the Gulf of Mexico, leaving just a sandy spot where hundreds of vessels anchor annually. The water level varies deep enough to submerge a person from the waist to the calf, depending on where one chooses to dock their boat. The popularity of Crab Island has led to the addition of several dining options, pizza delivery, water slides, and water sports equipment rentals.

Fantastic Restaurants

There are many unique things to do in Destin, Florida , and a huge selection of restaurants to choose from in Destin, and many of them are located on the sea, so patrons can see breathtaking sunsets as they eat. The majority of eateries provide customers with access to freshly caught local fish. In point of fact, individuals who wish to fish but not cook can take advantage of Harry T's service, in which they'll cook up any fresh fish the patron brings in. There are several great seafood restaurants, as well as stores, malls, pubs, and cafés, all within walking distance of one another along the Boardwalk.

Recreational Fishing In The Deep

Destin, Florida, is known as " The World's Luckiest Fishing Village, " and with good cause! Destin's deep sea fishing has the best diversity in the Gulf, with over ten different types of catchable game fish . Several competitions are held here during the course of the year, attracting many skilled anglers. Licensed crew, equipment, bait, permits, and ice are all standard on most fishing trips. In addition, once visitors return to port when the day of fishing is through, the crew will wash, fillet, and package the fish to take home and enjoy.

Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park

Big Kahuna's, one of the hidden gems In Florida , provides a wide variety of outdoor activities suitable for all ages, with over 40 different water activities to choose from. Big Kahuna's is going to be a hit with everyone, regardless matter whether one prefers the excitement of a waterslide or the peace and quiet of the lazy river. The half-pipe, with its 36,000 gallons per minute of water flow , is perfect for true surfers among everyone. Since its opening more than 25 years ago , Big Kahuna's has served as Destin's only water park.

Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park

Who doesn't adore marine mammals like dolphins and turtles? The Gulfarium features a wide variety of interactive displays, so visitors can get up and personal with the creatures that live there. Among the many one-of-a-kind exhibitions, visitors may go on a stingray snorkeling adventure or even give a harbor seal a kiss! A dolphin encounter, exploring the beach at sunset, fun in the sun and under the water, including scavenger hunts and supper with the seals are some of the highlights of the Gulfarium's Sunset Camp, which is also offered. This camp gives parents the opportunity to enjoy a night out while their children participate in an experience that will stay with them forever.

Harborwalk Village

Destin is a great place to come if one is the type of person who enjoys staying out till the wee hours of the morning, drinking and dancing to live music when they take a trip to Florida . In Destin, Florida, people may party till the early hours of the morning at one of the many fantastic bars, pubs, nightclubs, or shopping centers. The magnificent Destin harbor and the lively ambiance of HarborWalk Village's shops, restaurants, and bars with live music make for a memorable evening out with friends or family.

The Beautiful 30A Scenic Highway

The stretch of paradise known as 30A may be found tucked away on Florida's stunning Emerald Coast. The uniqueness of 30A lies in the fact that it maintains that easygoing beach lifestyle. Families may be seen out and about together doing things like riding their beach cruiser bikes, hanging out at the world-famous Red Bar, or shopping at the trendiest of shops on any given day. It is impossible to find another neighborhood just like 30A, and it is undeniably a unique location.

Watersports

The beautiful beaches in Destin are ideal for a wide variety of adrenaline-pumping pursuits. Activities like jet skiing, paddle boarding, pirate ships, kayaking, parasailing, dolphin cruises, skimboarding, kiteboarding, water skiing, boat rentals, and even tubing are just some of the many water-based activities that are available to visitors in Destin. Therefore, Destin should be able to satisfy visitors' desires for a wide variety of watersports. Visitors may participate in and learn from all these exciting activities with the aid of teachers who are both knowledgeable and patient.

Everyone Loves Destin's Year-Round Climate

One of the main reasons people live and travel to Destin, Florida, is the year-round weather. With the best times for traveling here being April and May, this gives tourists the chance to experience moderate sun and plenty of fun. Furthermore, during this time is when the water is warm, the sun is shining, and the temperatures are comfortable (expect highs in the mid-70s and 80s). Destin is a popular holiday vacation destination on the Florida coast, as hotels offer good deals, and it is a bit quieter. Christmas on the beach, anyone?

Winter is one of the best times to come see Florida, as the weather is near perfect, and the prices for hotels and property rentals are *typically* lower. Flights to and from the Sunshine State may also be cheaper during this time, leading up to Christmas. Spring break will bring more people and higher prices, so it's best to beat that.

The Fascinating History Of The Town

The origins of Destin's nickname as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village" are just as interesting as the moniker itself. Originally a "little fishing community" on the Gulf of Mexico, the town of Destin was named after a fisherman named Leonard Destin. Captain Destin carried with him a sense of identity and place from his native New England. For this reason, a miniature town was built that resembled a New England colonial village. In fact, the Henderson State Park Inn, often regarded as Destin's finest resort, is only one of several structures and hotels that has managed to preserve the city's historic character and ambiance.
