"Our experience so far has been outstanding. The instruction was excellent, the fleet is wonderful, and the staff is very friendly and professional. We are looking forward to passing Level 2 next week and doing some serious boating. My initial impression is that Legacy Boating Club is a first class operation, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering joining." - Matt Reeder

Destin is a barrier island that is located on the Gulf of Mexico and on the Choctawatchee Bay and is the largest beach community between Pensacola and Panama City Beach. Sandestin is located in Destin, on the eastern side. Our beautiful emerald ocean and white sand beaches bring back vacationers year after year. Acclaimed as the "Best Beach in the South" and one of the top three "Favorite Family Vacation Destinations" by the readers of Southern Living, Destin also plays host to many other recreational opportunities.


The sugar-white sandy beaches and pure sparkling emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico present an incredible backdrop to the numerous resorts with golf courses and conference facilities. The 100 Fathom curve draws closer to Destin than any other spot in Florida providing the speediest deep-water access on the Gulf. This phenomenon makes the area one of the top five off-shore shelling destinations in the world!


Fishing remains at the top of the list of leisure past times in Destin. Boasting the title "World's Luckiest Fishing Village," Destin is one of the finest fishing locations in the world.


The Emerald Coast has a lot to offer!
