Going out for dinner while on vacation is always a treat. A vacation should be a break from the kitchen as well. While you won’t likely eat all your meals out, you can make the ones you do have out very special.
A South Padre Island dinner cruise is just the thing to make that dinner memorable. If you are celebrating a significant event in your life or you just want a special dinner out, a dinner cruise is just the ticket. Some offer sunset or daytime cruises, and you can see some amazing sights along the way.
Check out all of these South Padre Island cruises, and find the ones you like the best.
Osprey Dinner Cruise
Famous for its fireworks dinner cruises, the Osprey Dinner Cruise is not to be missed. All cruises leave from Pirate’s Landing in Port Isabel on Saturdays only, so be sure to book ahead if you’ll be visiting during the weekend.
Explore the Laguna Madre in the Gulf of Mexico and see all the marine life that makes this area home. Dolphins, exotic birds, and all the breathtaking scenery. Be sure to bring your camera as you don’t want to miss out on all that beauty.
You can enjoy the sun and sea spray from the upper and lower deck or you can sit down below in the climate-control cabin and enjoy a cold beverage. There is plenty of seating, and the Osprey is available for private functions, like weddings, birthdays, or corporate affairs with as many as 75 guests.
The Osprey passenger yacht offers a catered, but casual seafood-steak dinner. There are kebabs and skewers cooked on board with a locally-made jalapeno cheese dip, crackers, and plenty of fresh fruit.
The Osprey Dinner Cruise is by reservation only, so if you want to get in on this cruise, be sure to book it with plenty of time so you will not miss out.

The Southern Wave Dinner Cruise is an excellent adventure if you are looking for things to do on South Padre Island. They have 3 options to choose.
