What To Expect

Experience one of the top-rated things to do in Destin as you indulge in fresh Gulf seafood, prime beef, and southern classics. Your dinner cruise experience begins with a stroll down the Baytowne Marina to the 125-foot Solaris yacht. After being greeted aboard by your captain, a server will escort you to your reserved table. Venture to the open-air sky deck to enjoy coastal breezes. Note that this particular activity departs after sunset. The Solaris dinner cruise leaves the Sandestin dock promptly at the scheduled departure time. Enjoy live music by the in-house entertainment while you cruise with unobstructed views from all indoor and outdoor spaces. About 30 minutes into the cruise, guests are asked to return to their tables for their three-course meal. Your dining experience includes a fresh salad, your choice of chef-prepared entree, and dessert. After dinner, continue to enjoy the live music which can be heard from all three decks. Don’t forget to visit the captain in the pilothouse, dance under the stars, and enjoy a serene evening of stargazing on the sky deck.

The food was good but we didn't cruise because of the wind. It was like eating and dancing at a boathouse restaurant. Didn't get the full experience that we paid for.
Phenomenal experience!

I want to start by expressing our gratitude for the overall experience of our destination wedding. The event was beautiful, and we appreciated the hard work that went into making it memorable for us and our guests. However, now that we have had time to reflect back on our big day and it has been more that little over a week, I feel it is important to address some concerns regarding the services that were promised and not delivered, as we had high expectations based on our discussions prior to the wedding. Below are some specific issues we encountered: 1. Chandelier Installation: We had paid for a chandelier to be set up, but it was not installed as agreed upon. 2. Cornhole and Jingles Setup: We also paid for cornhole games and jingles, which were not set up for our guests to enjoy. 3. Guest Book Location: The guest book was not placed in a prominent location, and when I inquired about it, my concerns were not taken seriously. 4. Transportation for Elderly Guests: There was a promise to provide transportation for our elderly guests from the dock, but unfortunately, they had to walk to the venue, which was not ideal for them. 5. Wedding Timing: Our ceremony did not start on time, which resulted in a rushed experience. This affected our ability to take the photos we had hoped for. 6. Chairs were not moved for us to take the photos as promised. 7. Silver Cake stand; we did not receive it back. We understand that planning a wedding can be challenging, and we appreciate the effort that went into the event. However, given the amount we invested, we were disappointed that several key elements did not meet our expectations.

The meal and the music were enjoyable however, being in November, the sunset mostly before we even got on the boat. Would definitely like to do it again in the summertime. As we sat at our table for an hour after the meal, staring at the windows and nothing.
Excellent, would definitely be a return couple.

From the time we boarded until we left the ship, everything was first class. Excellent food, atmosphere, music and wait staff were outstanding. Deshae was our waitress and much wiser than her years. We enjoyed her service and our conversations.
Overall ok, food was so so. But the the double charging completely unacceptable

The weight staff ruined our honeymoon dinner over being tacky . I took my wife for our Honeymoon dinner, Paid almost $500 for the package with there Commission, which is essentially gratuity plus I added additional $60 tip, a total of $120 in tips. first things seemed to be ok, I did wonder to myself thou why I paid extra for a window seat. Just to find that they don’t wash their windows, Beautiful view, but you’re looking through dirty glass. I was going to over look that, no pun intended…Lol But as we were leaving my wife noticed That they didn’t leave us a photo of us boarding as they did for the other customers .i asked our waiter very softly and politely, If my wife could have one. He asked a young waitress where it was, she explained it must have gotten thrown away. And that they would have to print it again. As if this was a major inconvenience for them. We waited patiently i might add. We hear them over the speaker saying that another group was being rude, about the same issue. And that they were waiting on the dock. We however we’re waiting in the upstairs bar area. Very quietly. As the same young waitress kept giving out giggles about the situation. We did not drink on the ship. A bottle of champagne came with our package. I asked them to bag it so my wife could enjoy it once we got back to our hotel. My wife thought as they were cleaning up That they were going to throw away the disposable tea light candles. She took 2 to use while enjoying her champagne Later at the room. Giving that it was our honeymoon. And that we paid extra for that package. As they return with our photo and I'm about to hand them more money in tip. He calls my wife out in-front there wait staff. And asked her to give them back. As the young waitress gives out another giggle as to further embarrass my wife. So in the End they were very Tacky and unprofessional..! If this company is going to go bankrupt over 2- 40 cent fake candle lights. And we just paid almost $500 And they Completely ruined our honeymoon dinner mood leaving their facility. If you’re night is a special one Don’t trust it too these people. Thanks Dave M
