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 through the 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, breathtaking views, and possibly a dolphin sighting. 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 into the best view of the sunset 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 (must select prior to cruise), 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 star-gazing on the sky deck.

250 for a Headache and No Way Out

⭐️ (1 out of 5 stars) We attended a three-hour dinner cruise that we expected to be a special evening, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a completely miserable experience — all because of where we were seated. Despite booking as a couple, we were placed at a group table with three other couples we didn’t know, located about two feet from the check-in stand (where everyone boards) and only about five feet from the band. From the moment we sat down, it was insanely loud and extremely uncomfortable. People were constantly bumping into us as they boarded, and the music was so loud we couldn’t carry on a normal conversation. Within an hour we both had headaches, and the couple next to us actually rolled up toilet paper and stuck it in their ears just to get through the night — which says everything about how unbearable the noise level was. I made it very clear the moment we boarded that this location was unacceptable. It was obvious we were seated in a high-traffic area right in front of the band. I asked the hostess if we could move, but was told seating was pre-assigned and nothing could be changed. Later, I spoke with the band leader, who confirmed that our table wasn’t normally placed there but had been moved to make room for large groups. I understand adjustments sometimes need to be made, but it’s unacceptable that we were the ones stuck in the worst seats on the boat because of other parties we had no control over. We paid nearly $250 for the evening, and spent most of it either wincing through the noise or escaping upstairs for a break. But upstairs was extremely windy and so dark you couldn’t really see anything, so it wasn’t a good alternative. The food and service were both excellent — but that didn’t make up for the miserable seating situation, the refusal to relocate us, and the lack of any effort to make it right. Had we been seated anywhere else, we might have had a lovely evening. Instead, this was one of the least enjoyable dining experiences we’ve had. I would never book this cruise again.

⭐️ (1 out of 5 stars) We attended a three-hour dinner cruise that should have been a wonderful evening. The food was good and the service was attentive, but everything else about our experience was completely ruined by our seating. Despite booking as a couple, we were placed at a group table with three other couples — about two feet from the check-in stand and only five feet from the band. From the moment we sat down, we were getting bumped into constantly by people boarding the boat, and it was immediately obvious we would be sitting right in front of the speakers. I made it very clear to the hostess right away that the location was unacceptable, but was told that seating was assigned ahead of time and there was nothing they could do. The noise level was unbearable. We couldn’t talk without shouting, and by the second hour we both had pounding headaches. The couple next to us resorted to rolling up toilet paper and putting it in their ears just to make it through the night. Later, the band leader herself admitted our table wasn’t normally placed there but had been moved to fit large groups — which made it feel even more unfair. We paid nearly $250 for this experience and spent most of it either suffering through the extreme noise or retreating upstairs into freezing wind and total darkness. Had we been seated anywhere else, we might have enjoyed ourselves. Instead, we were stuck in the worst possible location with no option to change, no acknowledgment, and no effort to make it right. For that reason, I cannot recommend this cruise and would never do it again.
***** in all areas! Would take the cruise again.

Really a wonderful experience all the way around. Food, service, staff, captain, music all 5* The only suggestion I would have would be to set sail a little earlier so that we could fully experience the setting sun away from the dock. Otherwise, it was outstanding!

The food and atmosphere were great. I think I had higher expectations than I should have had. I thought it would have been more elegant. The band did not sing as much as I would have liked either. They played song from requests and dedications. Three hours seemed a bit much since we did not leave the bay. I thought we were going into the gulf. It was not crowded, and the staff were amazing.
Amazing experience

The small band of 2 started off with a smooth, relaxing, mixture of popular songs . The singer's voice was melodious. The guitarist was superb. The dance music did not fail. It was a mixture of couple slow, fast, and line dancing. The staff was pleasant and the ship was gentle enough to.move about The only draw back was the fish dinner was more of a snack. The bread with the appetizer was cold but the flavor was good. The cheese cake was smooth and yummy. I believe the portions could have been more considering the cost of the cruise and extra charges for drinks

I enjoyed it, but it i were to do it over, I'd do it in the day to evening to enjoy the water and possibly sea life.
Fun, fun and more fun.
