Cruise, Dine, and Stay aboard The Destin!


Welcome aboard the private yacht DESTIN! We are an upgraded 45' Hatteras Convertible that sleeps 2 in the mid-ship Master stateroom with ensuite bathroom.

The pricing includes a spectacular sunset cruise, dinner for two supplied by AnnMarie the on-Board Chef, and an overnight stay in a private stateroom.

The boat is outfitted with 2 staterooms, a large open salon with leather furniture, a galley, a flying bridge with seating for 6, a large bow area for sunbathing, a cockpit that is set up with table and teak chairs for al fresco dinning.

This is a captained operated vessel, and a captain will be aboard and sleep in the crew's quarters. You will board at our slip which is convenient located on the Destin Harbor at Heron Harbor Marina, slip 1. We typically cruise away from busy Destin and find a nice anchorage or private beach, and spend the night under the stars, depending on the weather. We call ourselves the Destin "private Yacht" because we will plan the trip to meet your needs - just think of us as your own private crew.

This is a demise charter, which means you are renting the yacht as a bareboat, and must employ and pay licensed captain separately. We have several Captains that are approved by our underwriter to operate the vessel. For simplicity, the crew fee included in the VRBO rate, however, on the trip it is separated so that you will pay for the yacht separately from the crew.

The cleaning fee includes freshly and professional laundered linnens, bedding, and all towels.

The yacht is outfitted with cruising amenities including; beach towels, stand up paddle board, floats, snorkeling gear, deck chairs, ice chests, ice, and bottle water. You are welcome to bring anything you wish to eat and drink aboard. There is no smoking and no illegal activities allowed onboard. We have only 2 rules; respect the vessel and respect the crew.

The yacht is outfitted with all the necessary safety gear including; Type 1 life preservers; inspected fire extinguishers, throw ring with tether, smoke detectors, first aid kit, and all required documents, guides, emergency checklists and books.

Fantastic charter!
My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary aboard the Destin with Capt. Matt & crew (Ron). From reservation to disembarkation, everything was easy, relaxed and fun. Capt. Matt worked with me ahead of time to plan details for a smooth trip. The photos accurately represent accommodations. And Matt's many years of boating experience made us feel safe, even as he navigated through congested areas. We thoroughly enjoyed our time aboard the Destin!
