Overview

Experience the thrill of dolphin-watching with Hydrojet on an excursion that navigates Crab Island, showcases a scenic cruise of Destin Harbor, and traverses the East Pass. Upon entering the Gulf, we will accelerate. As we cruise along the beach to the east on the Hydrojet, our crew will remain vigilant for various marine species, including dolphins, sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, manatees, and whales. When we locate marine life, we will pause to allow for photography and videography. On days with choppy waters, we will engage in wave jumping, and you may get wet.

Please remember to express your appreciation for the crew's diligent efforts by providing a gratuity, as they strive to create an unforgettable experience.
