Highlights
Ever tried a sailing trip on a two-hull sailboat? The twin hulls offer extra stability, making for a smooth, laid-back ride. Enjoy a two-hour cruise in Orange Beach aboard the Cetacean, a 52-foot Hawaiian catamaran. With the wind behind us, the Cetacean glides across the back bays of Orange Beach. Out on the water, you’ll see wildlife in their natural setting—schools of fish swimming by, playful dolphins popping up to say hello, and seabirds diving for a meal. Bald eagles, egrets, herons, osprey, and seagulls are often spotted soaring overhead. This peaceful Alabama cruise is ideal for couples, families, and groups of friends. We stick to the calm back bays of the Intracoastal Waterway for the smoothest sailing experience.

5Dolphin cruise aboard the Explorers
We traveled on board the "Explorer". I was with my son, DIL and 2 grandchildren, 12 and 8. Captain Smitty and the crew (Mia and Josh) were great with us and the other passengers. We saw multiple dolphins. My DIL was pleasantly surprised as she did not believe we would see dolphins. The boat has a twin hull so the ride was smooth for the most part. A great time and the my son and DIL said next time we vacation in Orange Beach they want to do it again.
5We had a great experience...
We had a great experience on our cruise. We went for our anniversary. The cruise started right on time and there were assigned tables with your name on it was you got on.
5It was alot of fun and I would totally do it again!
It was a lot of fun! The staff were really nice, helpful and even offered to take our picture in front of the boat with the sail. The captain let people take pictures as if they were driving the boat. I would definitely do it again!!!
5Great time!
This was a fantastic family experience! Our crew were very kind and knowledgeable! We can’t wait to go again next year!
5Fun day on the water!

About Orange Beach
Orange Beach is a Gulf Coast resort town in Alabama, with white quartz-sand beaches, a busy marina and quiet bays and bayous behind the dunes.
Orange Beach lies on a barrier island along Alabama's short Gulf Coast, next to Gulf Shores and a few kilometres from the Florida line. The beaches are made of fine white quartz sand, washed down from the Appalachian Mountains, and are backed by dunes of sea oats and tall condominiums. Behind the town, Wolf Bay and Perdido Bay open into calm water for boating.
