Sunset Dolphin Cruise

There is a reason our sunset cruise fills up fast most nights. Watching the sky over the Gulf of Mexico change color from the deck of a boat, with a little luck and a dolphin or two nearby, is simply a different experience than watching it from the sand. It is relaxed, it is easy on kids and grandparents alike, and it works just as well for a date night as it does for a family evening.

A Beautiful Way To End The Day

Our sunset sailing follows the same back bay route as our daytime cruises, timed so you are out on open water as the light starts to change. It is a slower, quieter version of the trip, built around the view.

Meet The Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin

The Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin is common in our local waters, and evenings are no exception. Our deckhands keep watch and are glad to point out anything swimming nearby.

Built For A Comfortable Evening

You will be aboard the same 130 passenger, 17 knot vessel used on every Cruise Orange Beach sailing, with an air conditioned cabin, a restroom on board, and a snack bar. You are welcome to bring your own drinks, including alcoholic beverages, as long as they are not in glass containers.
