Our River boat experience was wonderful! The guide was personable and so knowledgeable about St Augustine. He is obviously proud of his town and shared many interesting facts, recommendations for other activities and dining experiences. Loved petting “Camper”! Definitely recommend for others and will return on our next St Augustine visit!

Had a great time. The captain was very informed, answered all our questions. The crew was nice & friendly. They had treats, snacks, drinks and some ice cold beers if you're into that. Seen about 30+ dolphins too which was great to go along with history tour.

Victory Boat Tour - May 2026

Haley_W, May 2026
Very relaxing and informative. We sat on the sun deck where the captain was and he gave history facts about St. Augustine as well as restaurant recommendations in the area. He even entertained my dad’s questions, which I thought was very nice. All around great experience.
