Some of the things that instantly come to mind when we think of Florida are stunning beaches. Destin offers just that. This Emerald Coast city is famous for its beaches with powdery white sand and emerald-colored waters. When you come closer to the water, it becomes crystal clear that you can actually see fishes swimming around. This makes Destin a great snorkeling spot. If you wish to see beautiful views of Destin from above, try parasailing. But since the city is called the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village”, it is best to explore Destin by boat. Charter a boat and hunt for all sorts of fish, such as tuna, grouper, and mackerel. There’s nothing more exciting than catching a fish with your own hands. Check out these top yacht charters near Destin, Florida.
