Blue Angels Viewing Cruise

Hear What Others Are Saying

We had the best time on the pirate cruise to see the 4th of July fireworks. The crew was great! The Gulf was calm, ocean breeze, the view of the shore from the sea at night was awesome. The perdido pass fireworks were actually the best I have seen in quite awhile.
We done the actual pirate cruise too, it is also fun!!

Bill B.

"Had an absolute blast on the Explorer for the fireworks! Being out on the water is 100x better than fighting the crowds on the sand. The boat is super spacious with great views from everywhere on deck, and the crew kept the vibes high the whole time. It’s the perfect spot to grab a drink, relax, and get a front-row seat to the show without the land-based chaos. Definitely the best way to do a holiday in Orange Beach!"
