About

Couples envisioning a unique wedding experience are welcome aboard Happy Life Cruises, a boat venue in Destin, Florida. Stunning vistas, versatile layouts, and delicious cuisine combine to deliver a memorable occasion for you and your loved ones.

Facilities and Capacity

Happy Life Cruises' custom 80-foot paddlewheel riverboat is an idyllic setting for a coastal celebration. It boasts indoor spaces and open-air decks, so you and your guests can bask in the golden hue of the sky in comfort, no matter the weather. Ceremonies and receptions on board are truly romantic at sunset. With ambiance lighting and flexible seating, your attendees can get teary-eyed during the "I dos" before the party begins. After some mingling and photos at dusk, your reception feast can take place with panoramic views of the evening settling in. Out in the open ocean, the stars will twinkle in the sky, creating a simply magical scene for dancing and enjoying a tipple away from the port. The boat can host up to 150 people, so intimate gatherings and grand soirées alike can revel in the waterside festivities.

Services Offered

Choose from Destin Harbor and Okaloosa Island as your scenic departure point for your milestone event with Happy Life Cruises. Personalized menus created by local restaurants will wow the palates of your party. Meanwhile, beverages from the full bar on board will complement each delicious plate. You may be lucky while you are feasting and toasting as newlyweds to spot some dolphins, alongside catching a glimpse of Crab Island lit up at night.
