Description

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.

Great Sunset Sail

It was a great sailing. Saw several dolphins and a manatee. Pelicans were active. The sunset cooperated (clouds coverage minimal) and we had a great sail.

Sunset cruise was stunning

we booked a 2:30pm cruise but the weather was questionable. Got upgraded to sunset cruise at no extra charge and it was so beautiful. Crew and captain were attentive and fun. Saw dolphins but we were there mainly for the boat experience! It was the favorite thing we did all week!
