Alabama is just as well known for its civil rights background and historical landmarks as it is for its white, sandy beaches and thriving seafood industry. Because of its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, dinner cruises are a popular attraction in this state, and many of them offer freshly caught and prepared seafood entrees aboard such excursions. Dinner cruises departing from Alabama also provide stunning ocean views, live entertainment and opportunities for wildlife viewing.
Corsair Charters
Corsair Charters offers classic dinner cruises aboard a 60-foot, hand-built, classic-style vessel. While on board, guests dine on seafood caught during the cruise; the fish is served alongside locally-grown produce. Some of the wildlife that guests may see includes wild dolphins, pelicans, egrets, sea gulls, herons, ospreys, and other coastal birds. This cruise specifically navigates through the back bays of Alabama departing from Orange Beach.
