Yes, there is a noticeable difference between the 2 routes. Sailing tours in the back bays give you more protection from Gulf swells, closer views of the shoreline, and better chances to watch dolphins, pelicans, and other coastal wildlife. Heading closer to the Gulf brings more wind, wider horizon views, and greater boat movement when conditions change. For a steadier experience, the Orange Beach Sunset Sailing Tour stays in the protected back bays and Intracoastal Waterway.
