  • Captain’s Log: Sunset Cruise

    Captain’s Log: Sunset Cruise

    There’s just something about being out on the calm, open water that makes all worries and stress drift away. The music of the waves lapping against the boat, the laughter of seagulls in the distance, and the warmth of the final rays of sun are all elements of serenity you’ll find on a sunset cruise.

    After a long day or a long week, this nearly 2-hour trip rejuvenates you. Departing an hour before sunset, you’re able to sit back and take in the final moments of the day. Watch the sun sink lower and lower as the sky turns a golden orange that reflects off the water around you, illuminating the gulf. With a light sea breeze, all the elements come together to create a paradise on our yellow catamaran.

    The simplicity of this cruise allows you to enjoy the nature that surrounds you and the company you’re with. There are no scheduled events or excursions – just smooth sailing that lets you enjoy the stillness of the evening.

    A sunset cruise can be a whole family event, or a romantic date night. Check our calendar and go ahead and plan on some much needed R&R.

  • Sunsets, Sangria and a Girlfriend Getaway in Orange Beach, Alabama

    Sunsets, Sangria and a Girlfriend Getaway in Orange Beach, Alabama

    Sunsets and sangria with your best girlfriends. If that sounds like the beginning of the perfect girlfriends getaway, then a trip to Alabama’s white-sand beaches should be on your calendar. Wondering how to plan the perfect girlfriend getaway? We have a few must-do activities and restaurants to suggest.

    • Fisher’s Upstairs at Orange Beach Marina. Every girl needs a reason to dress up now and then. Fisher’s Upstairs offers the perfect opportunity! Relaxed yet refined, you’ll love the comfortable, coastal setting – but you’ll love the specialty drinks and entrées even more. James Beard nominee Chef Bill Briand is the executive chef.
    • Flora-Bama. No girlfriend (or buddy) trip is complete without music and dancing at the famous Flora-Bama Lounge. Don’t worry about driving; there are several taxi companies nearby that offer fares as low as $5 a trip.
    • Spa. A trip to the spa is probably implied during a girlfriend getaway. Fusion Spa at The Wharf offers a suite of services, including massages, pedicures, manicures and salon services.
    • The Gulf. Fresh air, fresh food and fresh tunes. You’ll love the vibe at The Gulf. The restaurant is built from shipping containers, and all seating is outdoors with a view of Alabama Point. At night, relax on the sofas in the lounge area under white string lights or around a fire pit.
    • Sunset Sail. You didn’t think we’d leave it out, did you? Pack a cooler of your favorite drinks, whether it’s sangria, wine, champagne, sweet tea or bottled water. Find a spot on the catamaran’s trampoline and watch the sun melt away into the Gulf of Mexico.
