The weather is really lining up for a perfect weekend on the water. Sunshine, warmer temps, and calm conditions make this one of the best chances so far this season to get out in Pensacola Bay and the Gulf.

If you’ve been waiting for the right weekend, this is it.

Here are some of the best ways to get on the water right now:

Dolphin Cruise

One of the easiest and most popular ways to enjoy the water. These cruises take you through Pensacola Bay and Santa Rosa Sound, where dolphins are commonly spotted.

Great for all ages and a solid option if you just want to relax and take it in.

Parasailing

If you want something more high energy, parasailing gives you a completely different perspective of Pensacola Beach.

You’ll get views of the coastline and clear water from above, and this time of year typically brings great visibility.

Jet Ski Rentals

For something more hands-on, jet skis are one of the best ways to explore the area at your own pace.

Cruise the bay, stop at sandbars, or just ride along the shoreline.
