Question for anybody who has ever done the dinner cruise in Destin
Posted on 4/20/26 at 2:46 pm
Posted on 4/20/26 at 2:46 pm
I'm thinking about doing the dinner cruise in Destin with my wife but was wondering if anybody could give me some insight. I struggle with motion sickness and have been sea sick several times before but not every time I get on a boat just when it is rough. I figure this yacht is just barely cruising off the coast for a couple hours not heading out to sea like the cruise ship I got sick on. We are going in mid July which is suppose to be the calmest time of the year for waters in the Gulf. Should I risk it or find some other experience for a date night?

Whatever you do, don’t let your wife go alone

I literally never step on a boat without taking Dramamine/Bonine. I don't always get sea sick, but for pennies a pill, it's not worth the risk. Just take one and you should be fine.

I'm the kind that even with Dramamine I will get sick if it is rough. Can't do thrill rides or anything like that. If it is a calm easy ride I'll consider it, anything else and I'm out lol

I could be off base, but it would surprise me to hear that a "dinner cruise" would occur during risk of rough seas.

Is it the one close to Mirimar Beach?

I believe so

Inland water, as I recall.
We had a great time, and Mrs Cars get motion sickness very easily.
Took a nondrowsy Dramamine and no issues.

Can we see the program?

We have both a travel board and a food board for questions just like this

If it's the Solaris, you won't leave the bay. I'd be surprised if you went farther west than the mid-bay bridge.
You will never lose sight of land (barring some fog/storm situation) in any direction and the waves, if any, should be minimal (1-2 ft).

If you get sick, I presume there will be plenty food left

You'll be fine.
