Sunset Cruises

Watch the sky light up over the Gulf from the best seat in Destin on a relaxing 2-hour cruise through the harbor or out past the jetties, depending on conditions. It’s perfect for couples, birthdays, or just a great end to a beach day.

What to Expect

Every Fish-N-Fun Destin trip is private, meaning it’s just your group on the boat. Captain Karl Boehm has 35+ years on the water, a USCG 50-Ton Master’s License, and a federal permit that lets him fish beyond 9 miles offshore where most Destin charters can’t go. He grew up boating in Pensacola, spent decades fishing and racing sailboats in Louisiana, and has called Destin home since 2017.

Karl runs every trip personally. No rotating captains, no rushed turnovers. Whether you’re here to fish, cruise, or just enjoy the water, he tailors the day to your group and makes sure everyone has a great time.

What’s included with every trip:

  • Private boat for your group only (up to 6 guests)
  • All gear, bait, ice, and fish cleaning on fishing charters
  • Flexible scheduling (morning, afternoon, sunset, or all day)
  • A patient captain who’s just as happy showing kids their first dolphin or how to fish as putting experienced anglers on a fight
However you spend your day on the water, Captain Karl makes sure it’s one you’ll talk
