Private Fireworks Cruise

Want the absolute best seats for Destin's biggest fireworks shows?

Skip the packed HarborWalk Village sidewalks, the parking-lot traffic jams, and the obstructed views from a crowded beach. Step aboard your own Private Fireworks Cruise in Destin, FL and watch the sky light up from the only place that beats every land view: the water.

This is a 3-hour private pontoon charter for up to 12 guests, no strangers, no shared seating, no compromises on the photo angle. We push off early so your crew gets a full Emerald Coast sunset, a slow cruise past Crab Island and Okaloosa Island, and time to scout for dolphins before showtime. Then your captain anchors in a prime viewing spot, kills the engine, and lets the fireworks do the rest.
