Best Way to Visit the Gulf
Sunset & Dolphin Cruise
There’s no better way to end the day than a Sunset Dolphin Cruise on the Bella Vita! We specialize in private yacht tours with a passenger limit of six. So, say goodbye to the crowds and say hello to an intimate, luxury experience where everyone has a front-row seat! Dolphins are playful and intelligent marine mammals, and they are very intriguing to watch! There are several dolphin species in Florida, and you’ll also see other sea life such as tarpon, stingrays, and maybe even sharks!
Cruising alongside a pod of dolphins in the Gulf is unlike anything you have ever experienced. Now imagine all of this with a beautiful sunset as a backdrop. Your Bella Vita adventure awaits!
Dock and Dine Trips
Cruise the open water to enjoy some of the best flavors on the Gulf! There’s nothing more relaxing than a day on the water with friends and family. But after sun and fun, it’s time to unwind and grab a bite to eat. We’ll be your guide to the best dock-and-dine locations on the Gulf, where you can take in the ocean breeze, enjoy breathtaking sunsets, and an array of enticing menus. Choose from restaurants directly on the water serving the freshest seafood, hand-cut steaks, delicious pasta, creative salads, sandwiches, and irresistible desserts. We’ll cruise to Uncle Ernie’s, Rodeo’s, and Grand Marlin or get food catered and eat while on board cruising St. Andrews Bay.
Let us know when you’re ready to tie up, and we’ll take care of every detail to dock and dine at the restaurant of your choice.
Shell Island Day Trips
You don’t earn the name Shell Island without having an awe-inspiring array of shells available. Imagine the luxury and glamor of sharing a private yacht with your friends and family on an excursion to an undeveloped barrier island off the coast of Panama City Beach? Cruise the Gulf to this 7-mile-long barrier island for some of the best shell collecting and fun on one of the best natural beauty beaches anywhere. Shell Island is a must-see for visitors, and taking our private tour is ideal for those who don’t want to miss anything along the way in this beautiful paradise.

Blue Water Fishing
Only GOOD things can come from combining pure fun and a true passion for fishing. Bluewater fishing trips aboard the Bella Vita are some of the finest on Gulf waters. Our crew knows where the best fishing happens! Targeting trophy fish such as Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi-Mahi, and Wahoo — just to name a few. You will be spending the day aboard a Viking 55 Convertible that is highly customized and ready to go! Equipped with GPS, fish-finder, and a vast, uncluttered cockpit fitted with a bait-prep center, freezer, and two massive in-deck fish boxes to help you tackle anything the ocean throws at you. The vessel also features a spacious three-stateroom interior with lots of room to cool off and relax. Plus, a flybridge with Viking’s signature wraparound helm to take in the stunning views as you travel to and from the best fishing on the Gulf.
The adventure is up to you! This trip requires a $2,500 deposit to be paid before leaving the dock, which is deducted from the final cost. The boat will run at 1850 RPMs @ 25 knots burning 85 GPH. The slower, the better the fuel economy. A la carte food and beverage options are available upon request and guests are welcome to bring outside food and drinks on board. A $250 cleaning fee may be required.
