At First Shot Charters, our sunset cruising experience gives the unique opportunity to enjoy Destin’s beautiful waters allowing you to enjoy sightseeing, wildlife, and local attractions before relaxing into a breathtaking sunset cruise. For special evenings, our fireworks cruising adds a spectacular finale to a day on the water, creating memories for families, friends, and couples alike.
Scenic Sightseeing Cruises During the Day
Our sightseeing cruises let guests explore Destin’s bays, inlets, and nearshore waters while spotting dolphins, seabirds, and other local wildlife. These daytime trips provide a relaxed, informative experience that highlights the beauty and diversity of the Gulf Coast. Whether you’re enjoying a short excursion or combining it with a longer charter, our sightseeing cruises offer the perfect mix of nature, relaxation, and fun.
Sunset Cruising for Unforgettable Views
As the day winds down, our sunset cruise trips offer a peaceful and scenic way to experience the vibrant colors of Destin’s skies. Guests can enjoy a calm, comfortable ride while watching the sun dip below the horizon, reflecting across the water. It’s an ideal way to unwind after a day of fishing trips or daytime sightseeing, creating a memorable experience for everyone aboard.
Fireworks Cruising for Special Occasions
For nights when celebrations light up the sky, our fireworks cruising trips provide an unforgettable vantage point. Guests can enjoy the show from the water while relaxing on the boat, making it perfect for holidays, special events, or simply an extra special evening in Destin. Many of our sunset cruising trips naturally transition into this experience, combining sightseeing, wildlife spotting, and dazzling fireworks all in one trip.

Between Memorial and Labor day, First Shot Charters also offers private sunset/fireworks cruises 3 nights of the week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). We leave the dock at 8pm to catch a breathtaking Destin sunset over the Choctawhatchee Bay and then make our way to a premier viewing area where we anchor up, relax and watch the fireworks show.
During your cruise there is also a high probability to see dolphins meandering through the emerald green waters. This is a 2 or 3 hour trip.
Pricing
Pricing for these trips are $300 for 2 hour trips and $400 for 3 hour trips and time depends on what activity you choose. For instance, a sunset cruise is going to leave a lot later than a crab island excursion. Most of these trips are afternoon departures unless I am not fishing that day then the time can be adjusted to meet your needs! If you would like a longer trip then call for pricing.
