Now booking charters for our trimaran "Nice Tri"

Join Captain Pam for a day trip aboard our new Trimaran, Nice Tri. All her day trips offer the ability to swim, snorkel, look for dolphins or watch the sunset on the Gulf of Mexico in Destin, Florida. You can also choose to visit Crab Island. The place Captain Pam likes to snorkel is called the Grass Flats. It is a shallow area where you can disembark the Sailing Trimaran and be waist-deep in water to hunt for treasures. While snorkeling, some things you may find include seashells, hermit crabs, fish, shrimp, and occasional seahorse. Captain Pam allows you to take a hermit crab of your choice to the boat for a race before releasing it.

Snorkeling Tours

Snorkeling Adventures are fun for all ages, but we have a special treat for the older kids and grownups with the conditions right to travel into the Gulf of Mexico. Captain Pam loves to bring you sand dollar hunting. We get sand dollars on the second sandbar, where you can dive from ten to fifteen feet. You can keep two sand dollars per person. Captain Pam suggests a four-hour cruise so you will have plenty of time to explore.

Sailing Tours - 07"

See The Dolphins

The Gulf of Mexico hosts some pretty friendly Aquatic Mammals, like the Tursiops Truncatus or Bottle Nose Dolphin. These happy mammals are some of our best friends, and they love meeting new people. We have thirty-five to fifty local dolphins who love to interact with sailboats and passengers, and we get to see them on seventy-five percent of our cruises. So when we are fortunate enough to interact with them, they will follow as we sail along.

Party on Crab Island

The cool thing about Crab Island is it isn't an island. It's a sandbar on the bayside of the Destin pass where locals and tourists alike come to anchor their boats, party, swim, or walk to one of the floating restaurant shacks to grab a drink or a bite to eat. You are welcome to bring your cooler with drinks and snacks, no glass, please. Crab Island is fun for all ages; it has ice cream boats, shore dash, and Reef Burgers, Captain Pam's favorite. People come worldwide to enjoy this incredible sandbar.

You need to do this.When you go to Destin, you need to book this yacht and spend time with up to 12 of your friends having the most wonderful time of your life. The boat is amazing and the crew was phenomenal. Unbelievable experience. I booked my mastermind retreat a tour on this yacht while we were in town and everyone raved about it.

Wow, what a great day on a beautiful boat. The Captain and mate Lauren were incredibly kind. We had a wonderful champagne to begin our cruise. Shortly after we were surrounded on both sides of the boat by porpoises. Then we went tubing via jet ski! Finally, a visit to Crab island. It was just a perfect trip!!!! We will definitely recommend to our friends and return for another visit ourselves!

Fantastic first-class experience. The yacht was clean and beautiful, the crew charming, fun-loving, and knowledgeable. Our families will cherish the memory forever. I don’t know if this is normal, but we had dolphins swimming with us probably a dozen times. Oh and... BEAUTIFUL SUNSET!

Awesome experience with this charter! The Captain Jenna was fantastic, she found a perfect spot to see the dolphins and sharks! Our crew, Michelle and Carrie were outstanding and very attentive to our group of 10. Thank you ladies, you rock!!! P.S. I would give you 5 stars if I could. BTW, the boat is a beauty!!!

I am not normally one to write a review but after our charter we were so pleased I wanted to be sure to leave one. I can't say enough about Holloway Yacht Charters. I Chartered Propensity for my wife's birthday and it could not have been any better. In fact she says it was her best birthday ever. Ryan the owner answered every question I had and was so helpful in planning the trip even when I needed to make changes. Captain Jenna, Michelle and Kerry were an amazing crew, so professional and nice.  They make sure you know everything for your safety and take care of every need you have, even surprised us with decorations and a birthday cake for my wife. If you are considering a charter then look no further, Holloway is the way to go. Thank you again Ryan, Captain Jenna, Michelle and Kerry for making it such a special day. We hope to see you again.

Happy Hour is a 63’ Private Yacht that  is lightly chartered.

Happy Hour is a luxurious 63' Euro-Yacht. 

Unlike other charter yachts in the area, Happy  Hour is “lightly” chartered, so she has the feel of a “private yacht”. She also has a shallow draft which alllows her to get into shallow areas like Crab Island and Noriega Point. This allows you to get into the thick of the action rather than just be a spectator from afar.

Learn More About Our Catamaran Sailboat!

What's so great about a catamaran? A catamaran denotes a boat with two hulls or compartments that enable the vessel to displace water evenly on both sides. This design allows the catamaran to avoid rocking, as a traditional, single-hulled sailboat does. For folks on vacation--this point is a gold nugget--those that are not accustomed to boats tend to get seasick.

Why the double-hull design is a vacationers best boat friend:

Stable, non-rocking design . Why is this important? Because as the hull heaves so may your stomach.

Plenty of storage space with 2 hulls . And, if the kids fight, we can separate them.

Speed. The catamaran is twice as fast as a traditional sailboat. Save the monohull for the land turtles! (Sea turtles are fast too.)

Light footprint. A Stiletto can maneuver in shallow water due to a broader displacement of water across two lightweight hulls (Crab Island, here we come!)

Built for comfort. You aren't awkwardly lounging on a sloping deck like a monohull sailboat.

Maximized deck space. The catamaran has two opposing benches with cushions, as well as 80 square feet of trampoline for lounging and watching the waves.

Stiletto Catamaran

If you are thinking of chartering just any ol' catamaran, let me tell you why the Stiletto brand makes this boat even groovier:

Built light for speed. Although you may want to relax on your Destin sailing cruise, never forget, this cat has speed in its back pocket. The catamaran tops out at 25 knots (20 mph). In Destin, we can safely cruise at 15 knots with the jib (front sail) raised, and feel the power.

It will never sink . Aeronautic technology is utilized in its honey comb laminate that enables the material itself to float, not relying on the intact body of the vessel. So, no matter what the Florida waters bring, this puppy floats.

sailboat charters destin fl

Versatility of design. You can beach it; you can trailor it. When was the last time you saw a monohull sailboat pulled up on the beach or roaming down the highway? This boat goes everywhere. But watch out, you might catch catamaran fever thinking of the possibilities of where you could take it!

You are cool by proxy. Riding in our Stiletto catamaran brings you closer to the lastest version of the Stiletto XF, the foiling catamaran that once it reaches 14 knots, raises up and rides on hydrofoils, appearing to hover 2 feet above the water!

Catamaran Sailboat

The "Best Day Ever" Sailboat Cruise, 4-6 Hour Private Charter

At Captain Jambo's, We Know How To "Do" Destin.

Here is a write-up of a much loved itinerary that

may save you from being one of the many people

who ride into the dock thinking, "I wish I had

longer on the sailboat!"

The sails are set due south from Captain Jambo's

peaceful, scenic bay dock. With tummies full of

butterflies and expectations, we sail through the

glowing, emerald waves, under the Destin Bridge,

through the Destin Pass, and East and West Jetties to the magnificent Gulf of Mexico. Here, we look for bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine life. We sail along Florida's beaches, marveling at the beauty of the water and sugar white beach. Next, the sails are set north, back through the Destin Pass to the world famous, Crab Island. This shallow, clear sandbar is a hot spot for Destin boaters' fun in the sun. Catch a margarita or some fish tacos at the festive Waterworld Restaurant and Bar. Play with the kids on the giant, inflatable waterpark. Just remember, no babysitting your pontoon boat, come and go as you please to check out the festivities, your captain will be happy to hold the anchor! After you've had your fill of Crab lsland, we sail to the nearby grassbeds for snorkeling. Crabs and fish abound here. You might even spot a majestic seahorse! Take our underwater Gro Pro camera to document your adventure! Next door is one of the few areas to find seashells in Destin, so take some souvenirs home from your hunt. When your pockets are full, we will set sails again for a relaxing sail through the calm waters of the Choctawhatchee Bay, watching the explosive

colors of the sunset on this

incredible sailing day.

Finally, we head back to

the dock from where our

adventure began. Now,

the sailboat sails away,

leaving you sun-kissed

and ocean-drunk with a

mind full of memories of

an amazing Destin sail.

Some of you may be asking, what is a Tritoon? A Tritoon is a triple-hull pontoon boat. Instead of two large pontoon tubes, a tritoon has a third tube in the center that distributes weight more evenly on the water. With additional stability, a Tritoon can provide more horsepower than a traditional pontoon allowing it to move faster. The Bliss offers a leisure cruise with excellent stability on the water.
