You need to do this.When you go to Destin, you need to book this yacht and spend time with up to 12 of your friends having the most wonderful time of your life. The boat is amazing and the crew was phenomenal. Unbelievable experience. I booked my mastermind retreat a tour on this yacht while we were in town and everyone raved about it.

Wow, what a great day on a beautiful boat. The Captain and mate Lauren were incredibly kind. We had a wonderful champagne to begin our cruise. Shortly after we were surrounded on both sides of the boat by porpoises. Then we went tubing via jet ski! Finally, a visit to Crab island. It was just a perfect trip!!!! We will definitely recommend to our friends and return for another visit ourselves!

Fantastic first-class experience. The yacht was clean and beautiful, the crew charming, fun-loving, and knowledgeable. Our families will cherish the memory forever. I don’t know if this is normal, but we had dolphins swimming with us probably a dozen times. Oh and... BEAUTIFUL SUNSET!

Awesome experience with this charter! The Captain Jenna was fantastic, she found a perfect spot to see the dolphins and sharks! Our crew, Michelle and Carrie were outstanding and very attentive to our group of 10. Thank you ladies, you rock!!! P.S. I would give you 5 stars if I could. BTW, the boat is a beauty!!!

I am not normally one to write a review but after our charter we were so pleased I wanted to be sure to leave one. I can't say enough about Holloway Yacht Charters. I Chartered Propensity for my wife's birthday and it could not have been any better. In fact she says it was her best birthday ever. Ryan the owner answered every question I had and was so helpful in planning the trip even when I needed to make changes. Captain Jenna, Michelle and Kerry were an amazing crew, so professional and nice.  They make sure you know everything for your safety and take care of every need you have, even surprised us with decorations and a birthday cake for my wife. If you are considering a charter then look no further, Holloway is the way to go. Thank you again Ryan, Captain Jenna, Michelle and Kerry for making it such a special day. We hope to see you again.

Destin Yachting The Ultimate Yachting Experience in Destin & 30A!

A Miami - Mediteranean Style Charter 

with a New Orleans Flare!

Happy Hour is a 63’ Private Yacht that  is lightly chartered.

30A & Destin Boarding!

Half day starting at $3,200, 6 hrs starting at $4,000, 8 hrs starting at $4,800, sunset cruise special, vip private chef…check it out, veuve clicquot packages, the yachting lifestyle.

Happy Hour is a luxurious 63' Euro-Yacht. 

Unlike other charter yachts in the area, Happy  Hour is “lightly” chartered, so she has the feel of a “private yacht”. She also has a shallow draft which alllows her to get into shallow areas like Crab Island and Noriega Point. This allows you to get into the thick of the action rather than just be a spectator from afar. 

The Ultimate Yachting Experience!

We love YOU our valued guests and we love getting pics and video from you. This video was made with images and video provided by  a few of our charter clients Making Memories! See why Destin Yachting provides Destin’s Ultimate Luxury Yachting Experience!

Here’s What People are Saying

“The most MAGICAL experience that created a lifelong memory for my parents who were celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary. The boat is simply stunning, the online pictures do not convey the size and attention to elegant detail throughout the vessel. The captain and first mate were very attentive, friendly, and authentically engaged during our excursion. Overall, the entire experience was sensational, unforgettable, and perfect in every way.”

“If I could give 10 stars I would. I was planning my best friend’s bachelorette weekend and SO happy that I found them. The Bella Roma is truly the most beautiful boat I’ve ever seen or been on and the crew is AMAZING. We had the time of our lives and were so sad when the day was over. Easily the HIGHLIGHT of the bachelorette weekend. The space is clean, luxurious and spacious. I could not recommend them enough!!!!”

Sunny Things To Do in Destin Florida for Families

Posted: January 13, 2024 | Last updated: January 13, 2024

Florida’s panhandle coast is speckled with tourist hot spots, but none shine more as a family destination than the city of Destin. Famous for sugar-white sands, water sports, and diverse onshore activities, there’s something for every family member to love about Destin. We have a must-do attractions list ranging from lazy beach day to adrenaline-junkie fun. Be sure to add these  17 things to do in Destin Florida  to your trip itinerary!

The Best Things To Do in Destin Florida Beaches

A trip to Destin isn’t complete without a day at the beach. It’s a popular Florida beach city ! Many waterfront lodging options are available, but even if you don’t have beachfront access, there are still plenty of great options for guests yearning for the perfect beach day.

1. The Boardwalk at Okaloosa Island

Okaloosa Island is a part of the Destin Fort Walton Beach area. The two regions are frequently grouped together because they’re a few minutes drive apart. Half county park and half an entertainment destination, The Boardwalk is a great place to park for a beach day.

The Boardwalk offers a kid’s playground, splash pad, sand volleyball courts, and a spectacular fireworks show every Wednesday during the peak season. After you’ve worked up an appetite on the beach, check out the popular dining spots on The Boardwalk and local boutiques. The Crab Trap restaurant offers award-winning seafood and is best known for its crabcakes! My favorite part about The Boardwalk is the free parking, so you can stay all day to play.

2. Henderson Beach State Park

Wade in warm Gulf waters, enjoy beautiful campsites and get in touch with  the real Florida . What makes Henderson Beach State Park truly special is the undeveloped shoreline.
