Quick Details
A Private Sunset Cruise in Panama City Beach
End your day aboard Daydreams, a 47-foot Beneteau sailboat reserved exclusively for your group. This two-hour private sunset charter offers a quieter and more personal way to watch the evening sky change over the Gulf of Mexico.
Settle into the shaded cockpit or find your favorite place on deck as your captain guides the sail through St. Andrews Bay and toward open Gulf views. Along the way, watch for wild dolphins and enjoy the coastal scenery as Panama City Beach moves into golden hour.
Sunset Sailing with Only Your Group
With space for up to 12 guests, Daydreams is ideal for couples, families, and small groups who want to enjoy the sunset without the atmosphere of a larger shared cruise. Your group has the entire sailboat and crew for the evening, giving everyone room to relax and enjoy the view.
This private sunset sail is a beautiful option for anniversaries, proposals, birthdays, family vacations, or simply spending an evening together on the water.
Drinks and Comfort Included
Complimentary soda, water, beer, wine, sparkling wine, sangria, and rum punch are available throughout your charter. Guests may also bring food and additional beverages aboard, but glass containers should be left on shore.
Daydreams also features shaded seating and an onboard restroom, helping everyone relax and enjoy the full two-hour experience.
Watch the Day Fade Over the Gulf
No two Panama City Beach sunsets look exactly alike. Some evenings bring bright orange and pink skies, while others settle into softer colors over the water. Viewing the sunset from a private sailboat gives your group an unobstructed perspective that cannot be recreated from shore.
Reserve your private sunset sail aboard Daydreams and close out the day with Gulf breezes, beautiful views, and your favorite people.

What is a Bareboat Charter?
A Bareboat or demise charter requires a written agreement between the owner of a vessel and a charterer where the charterer has use of the vessel for a defined period of time and is considered the de facto owner. A bareboat charterer may take on legal obligations to the owner of the vessel, the crew, the passengers carried, and others.
Elements of a valid Bareboat Charter:
-
- The charterer must have the option of selecting and paying the crew, although the owner may require general levels of proficiency for the crew that is retained based on federal statutes.
- The master/crew are paid by the charterer
- All fuel and stores are provided by the charterer
- Insurance is obtained by the charterer
- The charterer is responsible for the safe navigation of the vessel
- The charterer may discharge, for cause, the master or any crew member without referral to the owner
- The vessel is surveyed upon its delivery and return
Any provision that tends to show retention of possession or control of the vessel by the owner, or the owner’s exclusive operator, would be a contradiction that a valid and legal bareboat charter exists.
Common Bareboat Charter Vessel Errors:
-
- A chartered vessel may NOT carry more than 12 passengers without a Certificate of Inspection (COI)
- A chartered vessel may NOT carry more than 12 passengers while moored. A chartered vessel is considered to be carrying “passengers” whether moored or underway. This includes a boat bed and breakfast
- The owner of the vessel may NOT be the vessel master or part of the crew. The vessel owner is NOT allowed on board during a bareboat charter
- A bareboat charter contract may not provide or dictate a crew. The charterer must be able to select a crew and have the ability to discharge the crew
- The charterer is not considered a passenger, and there can only be one charterer, even though the vessel may be chartered by several individuals. In this case, one person would be considered the charterer and the rest would be counted as passengers.
- Both U.S. flag and foreign vessels may be chartered, however, foreign-flagged vessels cannot carry passengers for hire between U.S. ports and must be chartered by and/or operate as a recreational vessel. Foreign-built vessels owned by U.S. citizens must meet coastwise trade rules before carrying passengers for hire.
- Using a vessel as a boat bed and breakfast in which the owner or operator receives consideration for people to remain overnight on the vessel is a commercial operation, is still limited to 12 passengers, and requires a written contract (bareboat contract) if the vessel is foreign-built and does not carry a MARAD small passenger vessel waiver.
