SoWal is a romantic destination where love is in the air above the emerald green, sparkling waters. SunQuest Cruises’ SOLARIS is a romantic and unique way to experience SoWal, as the area’s only dining and entertainment yacht. SunQuest Cruises is hosting its annual Valentine’s Day Dinner & Dancing Cruise on the SOLARIS yacht this Valentine’s Day weekend - Friday, February 14th and Saturday, February 15th – from 7 to 10 p.m. Guests will embark on a romantic and memorable evening that includes a three-hour cruise, three-course seated dinner, live entertainment and premium champagne packages.
“If you’re spending Valentine’s Day in SoWal, you want to enjoy a romantic dinner overlooking the area’s natural beauty,” stated James Murray, General Manager for SunQuest Cruises. “We take waterfront dining and romance to the next level as you cruise on a luxurious yacht to enjoy unlimited, open water views, fresh seafood and steaks and dancing under the stars to live music.”
Guests will enjoy the elegant fusion of the luxurious yacht, ambiance, romance, staff and entertainment at this one-of-a-kind Valentine’s Day experience. Upon being greeted on-board by Captain Rick, guests are welcomed to start the evening with a cocktail from the full-service bar. As everyone explores all three indoor and outdoor decks, the SOLARIS chefs are freshly preparing coastal cuisines on-board the yacht’s galley.
The three-course fine dining menu begins with a Mixed Greens and Arugula Salad topped with candied pecans, fresh raspberries and goat cheese. Entrée choices include a center-cut Filet Mignon with Sauce Bearnaise, fresh Gulf Grouper with Lemon Butter Beurre Blanc sauce, fresh herb, cheese-stuffed Boneless Breast of Chicken with Volute Sauce or Spinach and Cheese-Stuffed Pasta. The culinary experience concludes with Chef’s Dessert Plate specially prepared for couples with Grand Marnier Mousse, Truffles, Cheesecake and chocolate-dipped Strawberries.
The celebration continues with live music that can be heard from all three indoor and outdoor decks. Couples can dance under the stars on the yacht’s sky deck or enjoy the live music from inside the elegant dining spaces. The SOLARIS is docked within the all-inclusive Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort which offers a variety of accommodations on-property for anyone seeking a worry-free night.
