As the only dining and entertainment yacht in Northwest Florida, SunQuest Cruises SOLARIS offers a memorable venue in Destin on the water for all occasions and any size group. The SOLARIS is a 125-foot, 3-deck yacht featuring an open-air sky deck, covered outdoor seating, a full-service mahogany bar and spacious indoor spaces with panoramic windows. The yacht allows for versatile seating arrangements for up to 150 guests and unlimited options for menus and décor for any events in Destin.

“To truly experience what our area has to offer, you have to get on the water. The sky’s the limit for what our experienced team can accomplish on the SOLARIS,” stated James Murray, General Manager for SOLARIS. “Although it is a luxurious yacht, our customers receive a tremendous value with an unforgettable, all-inclusive experience.”

All events include full services from the SunQuest Cruises’ team of event planners, executive chefs and staff who have coordinated everything from start to finish for people who are local or across the country. In addition, the SOLARIS is conveniently situated at the all-inclusive Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, offering a multitude of accommodation, transportation, dining and entertainment options in one location.

A recipient of the 2014 Tripadvisor.com Certificate of Excellence Award, the SOLARIS cruises year-round for weekly sunset dinner cruises in Destin with live entertainment and dancing. After taking in the coastal breezes and panoramic landscapes and toasting to the sunset on the sky deck, guests indulge in a four-course, chef-prepared meal featuring the freshest seafood and finest steaks. While cruising the local bay, guests can dance under the moonlight to live music and enjoy a fireworks show during the summer. The SOLARIS sunset dinner cruise appeals to all ages, from vacationing families to couples or groups celebrating a birthday, anniversary or engagement.

The Knot’s “Best of Weddings” Award recipient for six consecutive years, the SOLARIS is an award-winning venue for Destin weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, brunches and more. The SOLARIS was built with a weddings focus by the Murray family, who own and operate the company. The open-air, sky deck features a bridal platform where couples can say their vows in a private, majestic setting while cruising into the sunset and enjoying unlimited views. Brides can prepare for the big moment in the private bridal suite as a secluded, serene space to spend time with friends and family. The three decks of indoor and outdoor spaces offer a weather-proof venue and the event planners ensure a stress-free experience. Beach weddings and receptions services also available.

Groups can elect to host a semi-private event on one deck of the SOLARIS or a private event on the entire yacht. The versatile spaces of the SOLARIS lend to any occasion from corporate receptions and social gatherings on the open-air sky deck to banquets, holiday or Christmas parties in Destin or classroom-style seating for meetings on the main deck. The chefs and event planners can accommodate all requests including buffets, plated dinners, passed hors d’oeuvres, food stations, A/V equipment, live entertainment and décor. One of the most unique event venues in Destin.
