30A Dinner Cruises

Florida’s Scenic Highway 30A is an incredible vacation destination for a number of reasons. Here, you can bask in the warmth of the Florida sunshine, take a stroll along the soft, snow-white beaches, and splash around in the refreshing waves of the Gulf of Mexico. You can also explore the Gulf from the comfort of one of the area’s premier Florida dinner cruises, onboard of which is served the finest samplings of Florida’s freshest seafood.

Whether you’re looking for entertainment for the whole family, another way to take in the sights of the Gulf, or you want to treat your loved one to a romantic sunset dinner on the water, a Florida dinner cruise offers up wonderful opportunities for sightseeing and entertainment. We’ve put together a brief guide below of just a few of our favorite cruise recommendations. Read on to learn more about the fabulous dinner cruises available for your enjoyment along the Scenic 30A!

Southern Star Dolphin Cruises

While the cuisine aboard these vessels is more of the snack and beverage variety than a full-fledged dinner, the cruise does provide breathtaking sights—particularly at sunset—of Destin Harbor, Choctawhatchee Bay, Destin Bridge, and the dolphin denizens of the area. Accompanied by a narrated history of the area and a glass bottomed-boat for optimal dolphin watching conditions, Southern Star Dolphin Cruises is a great option for satisfying your cruise and sightseeing cravings.

Sunquest Cruise’s Solaris

The ultimate romantic dinner cruise in Florida, Sunquest Cruise’s Solaris is a yacht that makes sunset trips into the Gulf, where gourmet meals are served on the outdoor decks of the boat. Sip on a glass of wine as you look out over the shimmering waters of the Gulf and feel the caress of the salt-tinged sea breezes. After dinner, share in a dance to live music under the starlight of evening hours on the ocean. If this is your type of romance, you may be interested in Solaris’ wedding packages as well.

The Buccaneer Pirate Cruise

Though this cruise is quite a departure from the romance of a cruise aboard the Solaris, it’s a fantastic setting for taking the whole family on a fun adventure on the high seas! Like Southern Star, snacks and beverages are served instead of full-course meals, but adult beverages are offered in addition to your standard beverage fare. Cruise-goers young and old will enjoy the thrilling skirmishes, sword fights, water gun battles, and treasure hunts that you can partake in. Your ship even battles another ship on the sea!

 

Blue Swell – Your Gateway to the Gulf
After long days of excitement and romance at sea, you’ll need a private, comfortable, and luxurious place to come back and lay your head at night. Fortunately, Blue Swell provides a vast selection of some of the most impeccably maintained vacation homes and condos in all of the 30A area, on top of our top-notch customer service.
