Your wedding day takes place ON the water aboard the 125' SOLARIS Yacht, cruising from the Baytowne Marina inside of the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort.

In addition to the use of the yacht, included in your base package is your choice of catering, bar package*, DJ/entertainment*, tables, banquet chairs, white linens, chinaware, silverware, and glassware.
