Conveniently located on the Destin Harbor at Heron Harbor Marina, 314 Harbor Blvd, Slip 1, Destin FL 32541 with ample parking. Drive up to the boat. Tipping: This is a common question, so we’d like to clarify: We do NOT include an automatic tip in our charges, as we believe that’s unfair. You are not obligated to tip. However, if you feel you received excellent service, the industry standard for boating is a 20% tip based on the charter price. The crew puts in extra hours to ensure the boat is prepared in the morning and cleaned at the end of the day. Please note; our vessel is structured as a Demise Charter, which is often referred to as a Captain Operated Bareboat Charter. This allows us to legally carry up to 12 passengers. The crew fee is itemized and paid separately from the yacht charter rental, and includes a captain and 1st mate. The crew fee is paid directly to the crew of your choosing. We will provide you with a list of licensed and approved Captains who can operate the vessel. 7% sales tax is added to the boat charter rental. Fuel is an additional $10 with the prepaid plan for most trips. If you have any questions, we can answer those through GetMyBoat’s messaging platform before you pay. Just hit, “Request to Book” and send us an inquiry for a custom offer.

    Matt was an incredible host who provided our group with a memorable charter experience for my sister's bachelorette. Captain Ron and Crewmember Lisa went above and beyond for us. The trip started out with us docked due to the rain, but they did everything they could to make us comfortable. Once the rain cleared and we were out on the water, they made sure to provide us with every opportunity we wanted from docking out on Crab Island to seeing dolphins. I would recommend anyone looking for some fun on the water in Destin to reach out to Matt and his team.

    We had an awesome time today with Captain Al! He’s very friendly and made sure we were accommodated! I will definitely book again! He also provide a Bluetooth where we played the music of our choice. If you’re looking for a great experience, then definitely book them

    Capt. Al made our bachelorette trip the best! The boat was exactly as described and beautiful. We had so much fun. He was very communicative and even called the day before to give directions and estimated time to plan for to get there. I will be recommending him to everyone who travels to Destin!

    We had an amazing time on our charter. Capt. Al was prompt with communication from booking the charter to confirming details regarding the boat amenities. Capt. Al and Capt Kristen were attentive throughout the day and really enhanced our trip.

I am passionate about yacht charter. Having been on the water for over 40 years, as a captain, boat owner, and fisherman - it gives me great pleasure to see mother nature through the fresh eyes of my clients. Whether it be a spectacular sunset, a visit by a pod of dolphins, or just enjoying the crisp cool breeze - being on the water is special. And, experiencing it all aboard a finely tuned yacht with a professional crew that makes it easy is the cherry on top. Thank you for letting us do what we love to do! Please join us!
