Boarding begins at the Baytowne Marina and the SOL y LUNA creaks gently as holiday lights wink from the railings. Steam rises from complimentary hot chocolate and a silver sleigh bell sits warm in a child’s palm while crew members read holiday stories over soft seasonal music. For 90 minutes the boat slips across Choctawhatchee Bay, lights from Sandestin and nearby shorelines tracing low arches on the water as the tide murmurs against the hull.

Boarding begins at the Baytowne Marina and the SOL y LUNA creaks gently as holiday lights wink from the railings. Steam rises from complimentary hot chocolate and a silver sleigh bell sits warm in a child’s palm while crew members read holiday stories over soft seasonal music. For 90 minutes the boat slips across Choctawhatchee Bay, lights from Sandestin and nearby shorelines tracing low arches on the water as the tide murmurs against the hull.
The bay itself is an estuary shaped by ancient shorelines and the long sweep of barrier islands—Topsail Hill and Okaloosa Island nearby—places that once supported indigenous communities and later small fishing settlements. Baytowne Wharf grew into a resort hub in the late 20th century; tonight the cruise reframes that resort energy into a short, family-focused maritime experience.
Expect shallow, sheltered water, frequent dolphin sightings at dusk, and a palette of salt-scented air and cool breezes that carry the sound of gulls and distant laughter. The production is simple—holiday narration, music, a light-up necklace—and designed for guests of all ages.
Practicalities: boarding is at Baytowne Marina inside Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort; the vessel is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible. Dress in layers—even in winter the bay breeze can feel sharp after sundown. Bring a camera with a steady hand or a small tripod for low-light shots. If you’re prone to seasickness, take precautions; the cruise runs rain-or-shine with cancellation for severe weather. Arrive 20–30 minutes early to secure your place on the dock and to make the most of the short, festive voyage.
