Sailing in Destin-Fort Walton Beach

Have you gone sailing yet?  You can’t beat the beautiful water on the Gulf of Mexico.  Here are a few options for a sailing experience you won’t forget.

*Smile N’ Wave Adventures

There’s not a better way to relax then taking a sunset sail in the Gulf.  Once you board the new Trimaran, Nice Tri, Captain Pam’s knowledge about the area will give you an experience through Destin Harbor straight into the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy gentle breezes with pelicans flying over and bottle-nose dolphins in the surrounding water.  This is the perfect family adventure you won’t forget.  Children love the sailing experience, and the opportunity to see many aquatic friends on the tours.  Smile N’ Wave is perfect for a family snorkeling trip, romantic sunset charter, or a moonlight tour for couples.  The Catamaran can carry up to six passengers and offers plenty of seating and places to lay back and soak up the sunlight.

You can see dolphins play in the emerald waters, and watch the colorful sunset on the horizon.  Relax with family and friends in the comfort of your own private charter.
