THE VESSEL

38' Fountain Center Console — Fast and Roomy

Deep Charters operates a 38' Fountain center console presented as the finest and fastest charter vessel in Santa Rosa Beach and Destin, with spacious seating on both bow and stern for a comfortable six‑passenger private charter.

THE SOUND & COMFORT

A 16‑Speaker JL Audio System and Comfortable Seating

The boat is equipped with a 16‑speaker JL Audio sound system with Bluetooth and lighting, and it offers comfortable seating fore and aft so the party sets the soundtrack while underway.

THE ROUTE

Crab Island, Dolphins and a Customizable Cruise

The itinerary centers on a roughly 25‑minute run to Crab Island but remains flexible: guests can raft up at Crab Island, cruise Destin Harbor, seek dolphins or manta rays, or stop for lunch in the harbor — the captain will tailor the six‑hour trip to your group.

What the day feels like

What the Six‑Hour Charter Feels Like

Expect a high‑energy yet private day on the water: the boat accelerates quickly and cruises at pace, with room to spread out on bow and stern seating, music pumping through a 16‑speaker system, and a captain who will run the roughly 25‑minute hop to Crab Island before you decide whether to linger, raft up, hunt for dolphins, or cruise the harbor for lunch.
