Where are you located?

Turn at Stahlman Ave. traffic light, where you will see the Emerald Grande-15 story condominium. On-site parking is available for $20.00 in the Emerald Grande parking garage or the outdoor parking lot behind Ugly Coyote Saloon. Our ticket booth is located on the Marina Level downstairs to the left of Margaritaville. We are the red ticket booth with the green roof.

When should we arrive?

We strongly recommend arriving one hour prior to boarding to allow time for traffic, parking, and checking in. Boarding begins 30 minutes prior to departure.

What should we bring?

We recommend bringing sunscreen, a camera, a hat, sunglasses, and cash (for snacks and for tipping the mates). During spring and fall months, you may want to bring jackets as our sunset cruises tend to be cooler in temperature.

Is parking free?

Seasonally, HarborWalk Village charges $20 per vehicle to park in the on-site parking lot or the parking garage of the Emerald Grande condo. Cash and cards are accepted. Alternative parking options include the City of Destin’s two paid public parking lots at the intersections of Highway 98 and Marler Street, Calhoun Avenue, or Zerbe Street. Limited street parking is available along Stahlman Avenue on the north side of Highway 98.

Is there food?

We have a galley that offers hot dogs, chips, sodas, smoothies, ice cream and other small snack items available for purchase.

Do you serve drinks?

We sell sodas and smoothies. Water is complimentary. Beer, wine, daiquiris, and margaritas are available for those 21 and over. We are a family cruise, and as such we ask that you please enjoy in moderation and responsibly. Coolers and outside alcohol are not permitted on board.
