The easiest way to save money on a sunset cruise is to book ahead instead of waiting until you get to Destin. The most popular sunset cruises often fill up several days in advance during the summer, and last minute discounts are actually pretty rare because the boats usually sell out. I also recommend checking TripShock before you book because they regularly offer promo codes and seasonal discounts that can save you money on many of the most popular cruises. Sometimes the savings are only a few dollars, and other times they are enough to cover drinks or dinner afterward. Another tip is to compare similar cruises instead of assuming the most expensive one is the best. Companies like Destin Snorkel, Sea Blaster, and Olin Marler all offer different sunset experiences at different price points. Some include dolphin watching, some focus on sailing, and others are private experiences. The lowest prices are typically around mid $20's. You can save more on senior, child and military tickets, but not every company offers this. The best deal is usually finding the cruise that fits your budget and then applying a valid TripShock promo code before you complete your booking.
