How do you plan the perfect day in Orange Beach, Alabama? The very name conjures images of sugar-white sand, sparkling blue waters and endless summer sunshine. But for those in the know, Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Perdido Key, Florida offer so much more than just a beautiful backdrop. It’s a place where memories are made, adventures are had, and relaxation reaches unparalleled levels.

Here’s another local tidbit: Sail Wild Hearts isn’t just a sailing company! We’re part of the Perdido Beach Service family, a one-stop-shop for everything you need to make your beach day easy and extraordinary with thrilling sails and cruises, essential beach supplies, watersport rentals and parasail rides on the Gulf Coast. As our parent company and “mothership,” Perdido Beach Services (PBS) keeps Sail Wild Hearts and Parasail Sky Surfer, our sister brand, running smoothly and ready to set sail for adventure.

Ditch the generic vacation itineraries and get ready to experience the best of Orange Beach and the surrounding areas. We’re showing you how our full-service amenity and activity brands – Perdido Beach Service, Sail Wild Hearts, and Parasail Sky Surfer – can help you make the most of your time on our beautiful beaches.

Our flagship brand has been serving beachgoers on the Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast with top-notch amenities and thrilling adventures for more than 40 years. Think of us as your beach day concierge, here to turn your fun in the sun into a sparkling, stress-free experience. With a convenient team of more than 60 beach attendants and services spanning 15 miles of shoreline, we’ve mastered the art of crafting unforgettable memories – one beach chair (or kayak, or paddleboard) at a time.

• Beach Chair Rentals. Ditch the weight of clunky wagons and settle into pure comfort with high-quality beach chair and umbrella rentals. Our Beach Sets include two canvas chairs with your name on them (literally!) and a shady six-foot umbrella. We take care of everything from setup to takedown, so you can focus on soaking up the sun (and those breathtaking views!).
• Kayak and Paddleboard Rentals. Craving a touch of adventure? Paddle your way through paradise at your own pace with a sturdy two-seater kayak or standup paddleboard (SUP). Imagine cruising to a secluded sandbar island, discovering a charming waterfront restaurant tucked away in a cove, or getting up close with nature at a nearby preserve. The possibilities are just an easy paddle away from the Sail Wild Hearts dock in Orange Beach! Rentals are also available at select beach locations that we service.
• Pontoon Boat Rentals. Fancy exploring the coastline in style? Opt for a pontoon boat rental and create lasting memories cruising the crystal-clear waters with your crew. Hop aboard a 24’ Bentley Cruiser, pack your cooler with complimentary ice, and crank up the Bluetooth speaker as you ride to sunny sandbar islands and beautiful back bays.

The heart of any Orange Beach vacation beats on the water – and that’s where Sail Wild Hearts comes in. Aboard our luxurious 53-foot catamaran, you’ll experience the Gulf from a gorgeous new angle as we set sail on Orange Beach dolphin cruises, sunset sails, nature expeditions and family adventures. Whether you’re looking to hop sandbar islands, cruise through the back bays or score a front-row seat to the Blue Angels Air Show, we can help you capture the spirit of our coastal scene as we glide across the Gulf waves in comfort.

Our Orange Beach cruises range from 1.5 to six hours and depart from the Sail Wild Hearts dock across from Perdido Beach Resort. We offer award-winning private sailings, daily cruises and special occasion tours across the Alabama and northwest Florida Gulf Coast. With a spacious vessel, premium amenities, and a professional crew committed to your adventure, it’s the perfect way to break from the beach and make family memories as you explore our marine landscapes.

From shore to sail to soaring high in the sky, we’ve got beach day fun from every angle. Parasail Sky Surfer, our sister brand under Perdido Beach Service, offers high-flying adventure with Orange Beach parasailing tours that promise stunning views from a bird’s eye view. Feel the rush of wind in your hair as you glide high above the rolling blue waves and sugar-white sands behind our one-of-a-kind Ocean Pro vessel. Our experienced crew will find the perfect spot to watch for pods of dolphins and cruising sea turtles, then bring you low enough to dip your toes before soaring back into the sky.

Whether you’re a thrill-seeking traveler or a family eager to make memories, parasailing with Sky Surfer is an experience everyone can enjoy. Our double and triple tandem flights are perfect for all ages over 4, and our 15-passenger Coast Guard-approved vessel has room for the whole family to ride along. We even offer photo packages to capture every second of your flight in crystal-clear quality!

Think beyond the ordinary beach day. Imagine seamlessly transitioning from lounging on a shaded beach chair to paddling the scenic back bays, then embarking on a dolphin-watching adventure with Sail Wild Hearts. Cap off your day with a heart-pounding parasailing experience with Parasail Sky Surfer, where you’ll witness breathtaking views of the coastline like never before.
