Sail Wild Hearts in Orange Beach offers a variety of unique cruises in coastal waters and out into the Gulf of Mexico, including dolphin viewing, the Blue Angels, sunset cruises, and so much more.
Sail Wild Hearts
Sail Wild Hearts was the first dolphin sunset cruise we took in Orange Beach 8+ years ago during our first trip to the area.
We had so much fun and loved the entire experience. It was during this trip that we fell in love with the area and started talking about how we could live here.
Fast forward 7 years and we now live in Gulf Shores full time and still love going out on Sail Wild Hearts sailing adventures.
There is something so relaxing and peaceful when sailing on the Gulf of Mexico. The views of of the Alabama Gulf Coast sugar white sands, Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins near the boat, and epic sunsets.
Sail Wild Hearts hosted us on our latest tour and it was amazing.
Sail Wild Hearts Cruise Adventures
Don't forget to pack sunscreen for any of these adventures! The Alabama Gulf Coast sun can pack a punch especially when out on the water.
Trust me I have learned this from experience and don't want your Gulf Coast vacation to include a sunburn.
The spacious deck of the Sail Wild Hearts open-ocean catamaran is perfect for relaxing, getting fun photos, and soaking up the views of white-sand beaches.
Sunset Cruise
Enjoy a 1.5 to 2 hours relaxing sunset cruise out of Orange Beach. Sail towards Gulf Shores or Perdido Key while watching the sun drop into the Gulf of Mexico.
During your sailing you can enjoy complimentary ice water, soda, and light Hors d'oeuvres (snacks).
This was the first Sail Wild Hearts tour we took way back in 2019. We have been a fan of sailing with Wild Hearts for years.
Their crew is always amazing and we have had a great time on every tour we have taken.
Dolphin & Blue Angels Sailing Adventure
From spring through Fall the Blue Angels are based at NAS Pensacola in Florida. They practice twice a week most weeks during the season unless they are away at an air show.
You can enjoy an amazing six hour sail on Sail Wild Hearts to see the Blue Angels practice from the water. This adventure includes breakfast and lunch for all passengers.
Watching the Blue Angels Practice is one of our favorite activities in the area. Being able to see them from a 53-foot open ocean catamaran is a dream come true.
Make sure to check the specific sailing dates for the Blue Angels cruises. They only occur when the Blue Angels have confirmed practices.
Kayak Adventure Sail
The 3-hour Kayak Adventure Sail is perfect for bachelorette parties, couples, or anyone looking to get out on the water and have a ton of fun.
This sailing adventure starts with cruising out into the Gulf Of Mexico after passing through Perdido Pass. Spend time looking for wild dolphins and enjoying views of the Alabama Gulf Coast.
The sailboat then moors on Robinson Island in Orange Beach for even more fun. Enjoy afternoon kayaking, paddle boarding, or just relaxing in the sunshine.
Sail Wild Hearts has kayaks and paddleboards onboard and available to play with.
This tour was so much fun! I really enjoyed being able to walk around Robinson Island and check out the hermit crabs, shorebird nesting area, and view of Orange Beach.
The cruise is great for families! There were little kids on our tour having the best time. They were so excited to swing on the boat swings in the water, ride in the kayaks, and have fun on the beach.
Adults had a great time kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, and soaking in the gorgeous Alabama Gulf Coast weather.
