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.

Kick Off Summer with a Memorial Day Sailing Adventure

Memorial Day falls on May 30, and it will be here before you know it! It’s a time to hold family close and remember military members we’ve lost. Many head to the beach to enjoy the start of summer and create lasting memories throughout the holiday weekend.

Why head to the beach? Why not! You’ve been working hard and the kids have been cooped up in the classroom. The beach is the perfect remedy for overwork, stress and lack of activity, no matter what age.

However, instead of “just” a beach trip, surprise the family with a sail aboard Wild Hearts. Our sails are kid-friendly, and there are many to choose from.

An avid fisherman (or a wannabe) will enjoy the Guided Fish & Snorkel Adventure. This cruise features snorkeling and swimming paired with catch-and-release fishing. Start the day off right with this two-hour morning sail.

The Kayak Adventure Snorkel Sail is perfect for families looking for water activities in the sparkling blue gulf. This three-hour afternoon sail has a lot to offer, including kayaking, paddleboarding and snorkeling off of Robinson Island.

Looking to end the day with a memorable experience – and stay dry? The Sunset Cruise is the way to go. This 2-hour evening cruise lets you kick back and relax with the family while admiring a picturesque sky as the sun drops below the horizon. Unwind as our catamaran swiftly glides along the glittering water.

Give us a call at 251-981-6700 and let us know how you’ll set sail this Memorial Day. Be sure to book early to reserve your Wild Hearts family sailing adventure.

Travel Bloggers Share Top Reasons to Sail Wild Hearts

Travel bloggers and writers are experienced in finding the must-do attractions in an area, participating, then giving their honest feedback to potential visitors. Jamie, Jennifer and Heather all recently shared their top reasons a cruise aboard Wild Hearts should make your list of can’t-miss activities during your Orange Beach vacation.

“We had a group of tween and teen girls when we traveled to Orange Beach and they all loved our Sail Wild Hearts experience. It is a must-do outing for kids of all ages, as well as adults. I tried paddle boarding for the first time and learned to love this new skill. The crew of Sail Wild Hearts is extremely professional and the cruise was amazing. We even spotted some dolphins!” -Jamie Reeves, Blonde Mom Blog. Read about Jamie’s time on Wild Hearts in her blog, Alabama Gulf Coast Family Adventure.

“Sail Wild Hearts has everything that we enjoy from great music to dolphin watching. Taking this cruise is by far the best way to wind down your day, while enjoying a breathtaking Alabama coast sunset. Entertainment with the friendly staff is one of a kind, for example where else can you have an intimate hula hoop competition with the captain?” -Heather Boothman, A Brit and a Southerner. Find out more about Heather’s adventures in her blog, Girls Getaway – Setting Sail to the Gulf.

“Sail Wild Hearts really showed me that they value me as a customer. They went over and above by making sure that my mother-in-law was able to get on the boat. She has a really hard time climbing stairs so they assured me they could get her on and off – and they did! Just them going the extra mile to make her comfortable and making sure she enjoyed her first-ever boat ride just blessed our family beyond measure.” -Jennifer Sikora, Jen Around the World.
