Why the SOLARIS Yacht is the Best Seat in Destin
If you’ve ever tried to watch holiday fireworks from a crowded beach or a packed pier, you know how hectic it can get. Aboard the SOLARIS, we trade the crowds and traffic for open skies, cool coastal breezes, and panoramic views of the Choctawhatchee Bay.
Here is what your unforgettable 3-hour voyage looks like:
1. Sip Cocktails on the Sky Deck at Sunset
Your evening begins the moment you walk down the dock at the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. After a warm greeting from the captain, grab a refreshing coastal cocktail from our full-service bar and head up to the open-air Sky Deck. Watching the Destin sky shift into vibrant shades of orange, pink, and purple as we cruise into the twilight is an experience you won’t soon forget.
2. Indulge in a Chef-Prepared Three-Course Meal
SunQuest Cruises is proudly rated the #1 Restaurant in Miramar Beach on TripAdvisor, and our holiday cruise menu shows exactly why. Prepared fresh by our executive chefs in the ship’s galley, your dining experience features incredible coastal flavors. Whether you choose our famous Gulf Shrimp & Grits, tender Braised Short Ribs, or savory Lump Crab Cakes, your taste buds are in for a treat.
3. Dance Under the Stars
As dinner winds down, the energy lifts! Our live entertainment sets the perfect mood, transitioning from soulful dinner melodies to high-energy hits that will have you dancing on the Sky Deck or the indoor dance floors.
4. Front-Row Seats for the Fireworks Show
To wrap up the ultimate holiday weekend, we position the yacht in the absolute best spot on the water for the spectacular Sandestin fireworks display. Watch the sky light up right above you from the open-air deck—away from the landlocked crowds, with the shimmering water reflecting every burst of color.
Don’t Wait—This Holiday Cruise Will Sell Out!
Because our fireworks cruises are the most popular events of the entire season, tickets for Labor Day weekend fill up weeks in advance. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, hosting visiting family, or just treating yourself to a luxury night out, this is the Destin Labor Day tradition you don’t want to miss.
Let’s end summer with a bang. Grab your crew, dress to impress in your favorite resort casual wear, and let us take care of the rest.
