Calling all gulf cruisers and sightseeing enthusiasts! We’re setting sail on adventure this season and would like to formally invite you to be the first-mate of fun. That’s right, we’re gearing up for dolphin and sunset cruises. Set your sights on the sky and sea and get ready to enjoy all the views the Alabama Gulf Coast has to offer.
Pack Your Bags
Before heading out for an exciting day on the water, you’ll want to be sure you’ve got all the essentials for a perfect day at sea. We recommend binoculars to enhance your viewing experience, plenty of sunscreen for protection from the sun, stylish sunglasses from Sun Rays, and a hat from Ron Jon Surf Shop! For all those who tend to experience a bit of motion sickness on the water, Dramamine is your friend. Since we’ll be spending the day outdoors, we also recommend bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated and cool!
Your Cruisin’ Closet
After applying your sunscreen and securing your protective eyewear or hat, slip into something comfortable and cute! You’ll want a fun and functional fit to make your day more enjoyable. The Tanger Outlets in Foley are home to a wide variety of looks, sure to keep you stylish and cool all day long. For gentlemen, pay a visit to Huk for fish-tastic fashion, or Archipelago in The Wharf to find your ideal look for a sunset photo. Ladies, if you’re keeping it casual, grab a set from Southern Athletica. Dressing up to take in that beautiful evening view? Stop by The Beach House Boutique for a new dress and adorable pair of sandals to match!
Tips for the Kiddos
Parents, we know cruising with the kiddos requires a lot of extra planning. To keep little ones cool and safe during the excursion, we suggest regularly reapplying sunscreen and having plenty of water on hand. If your child, or another one of your shipmates needs additional assistance, be sure to check with your captain to see if the boat offers wheelchair accommodations before booking your trip. To add a few extra smiles to the day, try giving your boating buddy their own disposable camera, so they can capture their own favorite moments from your voyage!
Setting Sail
Not sure which boat is best for your pod? We’ve got a few recommendations. Have a blast with The Fun Boats as you wave hello to all kinds of sea-life friends. Visit Flora-Bama Watersports and Marina for tons of fun on the water and plenty of options for your cruising pleasure. Still looking for more? Sail away with Sail Wild Hearts as you watch the sun melt down into the horizon.
At the end of the day, dolphin and sunset cruises should be fun for the whole family. Bring your crew as you experience firsthand some of the most gorgeous sunsets in the south and make new dolphin friends.
