Top 5 Reasons you’ll love our Dolphins and Angels Cruise
Whether you are a local or visiting the beach from out of town, seeing the Blue Angels (officially known as the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron) fly is an amazing, hard to top experience. But there is one way to make seeing them even better; watch them fly aboard Wild Hearts Catamaran. Check out five reasons you’ll love our Dolphins and Angels Cruise.
1. You get more time aboard the boat. This is a six-hour trip giving you more of an opportunity to spot some of our local wildlife and marine life. As we set sail to Pensacola be prepared to relax and see some of the marine wildlife native to our coast. From dolphins, fish, and turtles to many species of sea birds, this trip is sure to delight.
2. You get to witness the drills from the best vantage point possible. We are talking about the world’s most elite fighter pilots practicing their adrenaline-pumping drills – and you get to witness them from our spacious 53-foot, open-ocean catamaran. With the beautiful Gulf of Mexico as your background, what more could you want?
3. You get to do more than just watch the Blue Angels. After the Blue Angels experience, we set sail to a historic Civil War Fort in a protected lagoon. There you will have the opportunity to snorkel, kayak, paddleboard, and explore Fort McRae. There is no additional charge for kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling equipment. And as always, life jackets are included.
4. Lunch is provided. You have to eat, right? While anchored, the crew will prepare a delicious complimentary light lunch that will include bottled water or soft drinks for you to enjoy.
5. There are many opportunities to book this cruise. The Blue Angels practice most Tuesdays and Wednesdays from April through early November, so you have many chances to book this cruise and witness their breathtaking aerial displays, but don’t wait too long as many dates are filling up.
Please note: Cruises are subject to cancellation due to weather or a change in the Naval operational schedule.

The Best Time to Take a Dolphin Cruise

Labor Day has come and gone, closing on a great summer. You might think your opportune time to take a dolphin cruise has past, but don’t fret! Fall is actually a perfect time to take a dolphin cruise and here are three reasons why:

1.) The Weather!
Fall at the beach is gorgeous. Breezy, sunny, and the daily summer showers aren’t *as* guaranteed. You’ll feel the wind in your hair on the boat ride, and very minimal sweat!

2.) Less Crowded!
When you plan a fall beach trip you’ll be one of few families taking the time to do so. Summer is prime time for tourists, and fall is prime time for a relaxing crowd-free trip!

3.) Special Trips!
Our Dolphins and Blue Angels sail is a great excursion and we have plenty of fall dates scheduled. On this cruise, you’ll experience tons of marine life on the boat ride to Pensacola, as well as a provided breakfast. We anchor in front of the haunted light house, then relax as we wait on the Blue Angels to give us a show.

Fall Dates Include:
Sept. 11, 12, 18, 19
Oct. 17, 23, 24
Nov. 2,3

As always, be sure to check our website regarding possible date and time changes.

We can’t wait to see you this fall on one of our dolphin excursions!
