Sunquest Cruises: Dining, Dolphins & Good Times On the Emerald Coast

If cruising the Gulf with a cocktail in hand and coastal breezes on your face sounds like your kind of day, SunQuest Cruises has you covered. With regular trips from the Marina at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, this local favorite provides all the ingredients for good vibes on the water. Their fleet includes the elegant SOLARIS yacht, laid-back SunVenture catamarans, and the newest addition, Sol Y Luna—each offering a unique experience to achieve your preferred day or evening on the water.

SOLARIS – Dinner with a View (and a Beat)

The SOLARIS yacht is Northwest Florida’s only dining and entertainment yacht, and it lives up to the hype. With three spacious decks, there's plenty of room to dine, dance, and enjoy the view. Think chef-inspired dishes incorporate fresh from the Gulf seafood and prime steaks, paired with a crisp salad, seasonal dessert, and drinks from the full-service bar. Once the sun starts setting, the music turns up and guests hit the dance floor for a night of fun under the stars.

SunVenture – Casual Cruisin’ Done Right

Looking for something a little more relaxed? Hop aboard one of the SunVenture catamarans. These cruises are all about soaking up the sun and scenery. Dolphin tours, Crab Island excursions, sunset cruises—whatever the vibe, the captains bring the local knowledge and personality to match. These trips are family-friendly and a great way to spend a few carefree hours on the water.

Sol Y Luna – Laid-Back & Dolphin-Filled

New to the lineup in 2025, Sol Y Luna is all about specialty cruises with amazing views. This newer vessel offers dolphin-watching cruises and evening sailings to catch the fireworks as well as customized, private outings aboard this new luxury yacht. With a smaller, more personal vibe, it’s perfect for anyone wanting a quieter, more upscale experience.
