I rarely make a trip that’s anywhere near the water without taking a boat ride of some sort. There’s no substitute for cruising on a paddle wheeler across Lake Tahoe, paddling a sea kayak in Baja or casting over the rail on fishing party boat at the Jersey Shore.
If you’re anything like me, you’ll love Destin, Florida, where you can enjoy boating of all kinds. In fact, in Destin you could go from one unique boat trip to another from dawn until dusk.
Get up with the sun for awesome deep sea Gulf Coast fishing aboard one of the many charters available. Then, try a Dolphin Cruise out into the Choctawhatchee Bay on the Southern Star, an 80 foot long glass bottomed boat. This one’s a don’t miss if you have kids - they’ll even get to steer!
From there, move along to an afternoon of playing pirates while sailing aboard the Nathaniel Bowditch, a 54 foot schooner, with stops for snorkeling and sea-shelling along the way.
Then, dress up for a romantic dinner of lobster manicotti or scrumptious tenderloin and dancing to live music aboard the Solaris, which is berthed at the Baytowne Marina. Sunset cruises depart daily and reservations are suggested.
