Q&A

Q: Do kids need to wear life jackets during the cruise?

A: Yes, children 6 and under must wear a life jacket while the boat is in motion. It's a good idea to bring your own appropriately sized life jacket for them since they will need to wear it the whole time. The cruise staff will remind you of this, but it's best to be prepared! My kids loved the experience, and knowing they were safe made it even more enjoyable.

Q: What should we wear for this cruise in winter?

A: Layering is key! I'd recommend wearing a warm jacket as it can get chilly on the water, especially when the wind picks up. Also, comfy shoes are a must since you'll be moving around the boat a bit. They provide blankets and hot chocolate, but dressing warmly will help you enjoy the whole experience without getting cold.

Q: Is it easy to park around the harbor for this cruise?

A: Parking can be a bit tricky, especially during the busy season. There are a few public parking lots near the harbor, but they can fill up fast. I'd suggest arriving a bit early to secure a spot. It might be worth checking if your cruise provider has any recommendations for parking spots or if they offer shuttle services.

Thinking about gifting the Back Porch Water Cruise for my parents!

Hey everyone! I'm considering gifting the Back Porch on the Water cruise in Destin to my parents for their anniversary. They love being on the water and the idea of sipping hot chocolate while cruising around sounds perfect! Has anyone done this? How was the experience? Any tips for making it special?

Just did the Harbor Sightseeing Cruise - loved it!

I went on the Back Porch cruise last weekend, and it was amazing! The weather was perfect, and we saw some dolphins! The hot chocolate was a nice touch, and the blankets were super cozy. If you're looking for a chill way to spend a couple of hours in Destin, this is it. Highly recommend!
