Island Weather and Time

Southern Wave is a large stable catamaran and perfect for snorkeling, chasing bottlenose dolphins or watching the beautiful South Padre Island sunset on one of our dinner cruises.

A visit to South Padre Island or Port Isabel wouldn't be complete without a sailing trip on Southern Wave. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a cool drink while the South Texas sun puts on it's spectacular evening sunset show for you... this is the perfect way to end your day and start your evening.

Trips include:
Snorkeling
Dolphin Watch
Dinner Cruises
Sunset/Fireworks
Moonlight Cruises

During your trip, you can lay in the South Padre Island sun on our spacious trampolines or relax under the covered sundeck. Although Southern Wave can motor, you may get the chance to see her sail at speeds in excess of 15kts!

Most mornings, we'll snorkel in the clear waters of the Laguna Madre, northwest of South Padre Island. Afternoons may be spent Dolphin Watching, Picnicking or working on your tan while we cook up some shrimp, fajitas or serve you fresh local fruit. We have a grill on board so we can make your trip to South Padre Island special.

In the evenings, we have a dinner cruise and you'll enjoy the incredible South Padre Island sunsets, and of course in the summer, the Friday night fireworks are not to be missed..

We have lots of snack and sodas but we don't provide alcoholic beverages. Feel free to bring your own (BYOB). For afternoon and evening charters, don't be surprised to find a local artist performing on our waterborne stage.

South Padre Island, a town with style - a folksy, warm, inviting style that welcomes visitors from all walks of life is located on the tropical tip of Texas just 25 miles north of the Mexican border and is THE premiere resort in Texas.

This 34 mile long stretch of white sand is bordered to the east by the Gulf of Mexico and to the west by the Laguna Madre bay. The conveniences and attractions of a modern resort coupled with miles of pristine island terrain is what draws thousands of visitors to the area each year, and has brought many back to live.

The natural beauty of its beaches, its vibrant business climate and the friendly people that call the Island home matches South Padre’s rich history. The white, sandy beaches of South Padre are known throughout the United States (ranked as one of America’s top 10 beaches), with the emerald water of the Gulf of Mexico serving as the perfect backdrop for spectacular sunsets. From sunrise to sunset, the Island is the perfect playground for sailing, fishing, windsurfing, dolphin watching, horseback riding, shopping and golf, just to mention a few. As the day winds down with spectacular sunsets over the bay, the evenings come alive with dining, dancing and music. Large selections of fine restaurants are available for your choosing, and many will even cook your catch.

While its many amenities make South Padre the premiere vacation spot in the state, the location of the Island also makes it one of the premiere spots in the state to observe wildlife in its natural state, and to find that allusive bird to add to your list. One of the best spots in the United States to see all of the regularly occurring rails, South Padre has over 300 recorded species to date, and the list continues to grow, as do the bird watchers.

With year round moderate temperatures, South Padre is the ideal vacation spot for everyone. Whether you are a family looking for a week long get away, a winter visitor looking for a warm spot during the cold months in the northern states, or a college student looking for the best spot to relax during Spring Break, South Padre Island is your choice.
