What fun! James and Jeannie were wonderful and friendly hosts. We felt so safe with Captain James in charge, and he was a terrific tour guide too, telling us all about St Augustine's history. They even had blankets for if you got cold! Very well organized boat tour. Boat is clean and extremely well maintained....highly recommend this family-owned enterprise.

The tour was a perfect blend of factual content and a great music playlist. Captain James was entertaining and informative and first made Victoria was very friendly. It was the perfect ending to our time in Saint Augustine. We are looking forward to coming back and we definitely do another boat tour.

Captain was great! He didn't talk too much, and play list was awesome! Blankets were also provided for those of us who got cold!
Sandi_V, Mar 2026
Great experience! This boat ride is 30 minutes longer than comparable boat rides for the same price. That extra 30 minutes let us sit and watch the dolphins in the water at sunset. The music was excellent. Would highly recommend.
Michael_S, Mar 2026
David timed the sunset perfectly! Great views of the lighthouse, dolphins, San Marco castle and St Augustine. Very large, modern boat with plenty of space for pictures.
Nicole_G, Mar 2026
Bring plenty of whatever you want to drink! We brought too little thinking one container each. But people had small cooler fulls.
Stacey_B, Mar 2026
The captain was very chill. The cruise was byob. We had some beers while he drove us around pointing out interesting sights and telling stories about various topics.

Linda_M, Feb 2026
A group of three friends celebrated our last night in St Augustine by cruising the old town waterfront as the sunset. It was BYOB and mostly couples or friends with a bottle of wine or some beer, chilling out and enjoying the great selection of music and the scenery. It was NOT a booze cruise as we had feared. The captain pointed out places of interest and added some history but was not overwhelming allowing g everyone to enjoy their friends/partners. It was wonderful and enjoyable
Renae_G, Feb 2026
Amazing experience! So informative, fun, friendly and helpful with questions and needs. I was able to get beautiful sunset photos and I loved the BYOB part. Reasonably priced and the staff gave us excellent dinner suggestions upon our return. A must do if in the St. Augustine area!

This was great! I was on a work trip so I was solo but everyone was chill. Music was good and I learned a lot about st Augustine while enjoying the byob. Thanks!

Very nice evening with an excellent crew, a few laughs and lots of history. The evening was cool and blankets were offered to assure guest’s comfort. Would gladly go again.
Christina_A, Mar 2021
Beautiful sunset cruise! Captain and Staff was amazing. Definitely do this again. Worth every penny.

I was unable to cancel our booking 8 hours prior to the trip. I explained that it was very windy and stormy and I am in my first trimester of pregnancy so was afraid going on the boat during these conditions would exacerbate my morning sickness. I was told I could reschedule but could not cancel and receive a refund. This was the last day of our vacation so rescheduling was not an option. I would have thought they would be more sympathetic given that I am pregnant but I guess not. I will not do any future business with this company.
Response from Host, Mar 2021
I feel bad when we're not able to satisfy every customer, but the weather on this particular evening was not windy and stormy, it was in fact very nice. So nice that I took my father in-law downtown, so he could see our boat in action, as they passed by the fort. I have some date/time stamped pictures of the sky and the bay, if anyone would like to see them.
We evaluate the weather all day, every day and generally are able to get pretty close. If we feel that there could be an unsafe condition, we will cancel the tour.
If we have done something wrong, by all means give us a bad review, but it's tough to get a harsh review, when our services are what we advertise and someone has simply changed their mind.
Regina_B, Mar 2021
It was a beautiful evening. The captain and co captain were excellent. Very informative of the history of the area. He was great with the jokes. I replay enjoyed the sunset cruise and I do highly recommend this tour.
Gilbert_H, Mar 2021
Outstanding retreat for lovers! The weather kept us close to one another.... BYOB kept the mood going, the crew was nice!
Jeffey_K, Mar 2021
We had a wonderful time. We saw several dolphin pods and the sunset was beautiful. They told us some history about St. Augustine and were also funny. I would highly recommend!
