Sea Blaster Destin
It is hard to put into words how much fun we had on the Sea Blaster in Destin. We have done a LOT of dolphin cruises and this one is on the list of our absolute favorite experiences.
From the moment we pulled away from the dock at HarborWalk Village we knew we were in for a good time. When the crew hands you a cup and then proceeds to fill it with ice cold beer you now you are in for a good time.
The atmosphere on the boat is family friendy even with beer and wine included in the tour. Parents are having a great time, kids are laughing and pointing at the dolphins, and grandparents are getting their photos with the grandkids driving the boat.
We sat back and soaked up the gorgeous Florida Gulf Coast weather while sipping on cold beers. We had time to chat with the crew and they are honestly amazing. So much fun to talk with and such great energy.
