✨What's New in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
Enjoy a cold drink with a gorgeous view of the water. The Cetacean is a 52-foot Hawaiian Catamaran. It skims the water and is super comfortable to sail on.
One great thing about the Cetacean Sunset Sail is they are the only boat that offers a full service cocktail bar onboard in Orange Beach, Alabama.
I have to say the Miami Vice I enjoyed was delicious! Perfect for a warm summer evening on the water.
The gorgeous sunset view is hard to beat. Keep an eye out for wild dolphins that live in the back bays of Orange Beach & Gulf Shores.
