Totally worth it!
2 Hr – Sunset Trip on June 9, 20269 adults1 child

There's nothing better than having a yacht to yourself! We did the 2-hour Sunset Cruise (we had 10 ppl) and it was fabulous! I think the cost of this Charter was well worth it. We had a bit of a snafu with the booking -- our reservation with Boat Booker did not make it to Destin Private Yachts so we had no Captain lined up for our Charter when we arrived. Captain Matt immediately took charge and found us a captain on his team and they immediately got the boat ready and took us out. I was very impressed with how quickly and efficiently this situation was handled by Captain Matt and his company, in that instead of canceling us all together, he did what it took to ensure we could still go out. Captain Mike who captained our yacht was awesome! He had been out all afternoon with a charter and stayed to take us out for our Sunset Cruise. Greatly appreciated everyone's efforts! Definitely professionals who care and provide excellent customer service.
