Five trips to Destin, five rides on the Blaster. I have NEVER had the boat not be family friendly on the sunset cruise. Plenty of soda for the kids and every one of them gets to drive the boat. We make it the last thing we do before heading north to St. Louis. FUN!

I really wasn't expecting much with this attraction but I actually did enjoy myself. My family and I got on the sunset cruise. The ride started out slow but the captain did increase the speed to get to the area with the most dolphins. Some of the passengers did get wet, but no one complained. The kids enjoyed it and... More

I took my 3 children on the Destin Original Sea Blaster. We had a wonderful time. Captain Larry delivered a great experiance for my children. We were able to see dalphins for the first time in the wild. The entire experiance was great. I highly recommend a trip on the 'Destin Original Sea Blaster" for you and your family.

My husband, five year old daughter, and myself were excited to go on this boat as the website boasted dolphin sightings and great family fun. We called the day before the cruise to reserve seats for the 2-4 time slot. We planned our day accordingly and arrived promptly at 1:30 as instructed. Upon arrival we were told that the cruise...

Took my family for a dolphin cruise and we got more than we could have hoped for aboard the Seablaster!! Captain Larry and his crew were awesome! We all had so much fun on the afternoon cruise that we booked the sunset for the next evening! Our group ages ranged from 2 years old to my inlaws who were 68... More

I was a bit hesitant upon arrival when I saw the long line and number of passengers that would be on the boat. However not wanting to disappoint my 10 year old we boarded despite my reservations. This was by far the best experience of our vacation! From feeding crackers to the birds while departing the harbor to having dolphin... More
