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 boat ride was awesome. Captain Dave did a very good job. Have a laugh, I didn't know what BYOB was, but I learned quickly as everyone started taking their booze out. I ended up drinking from three different wines. People were great. The music, the sunset, and beautiful St. Augustine.

Amazing! I would recommend to anyone visiting St. Augustine. Beautiful views+ captain and first mate were very friendly.

This 90 minute cruise was so much fun. It was a great way to celebrate our 39th Anniversary. The tour guides were extremely courteous and you could tell that they enjoy providing these cruises. We did the BYOB Sunset Cruise and enjoyed a bottle of bubbly as we sailed with several dolphins. The weather was perfect and we had a beautiful sunset.
Highly recommend Red Boat!

Fun experience to see cityscape and city highlights! Enjoyed the environment and met new people. Would highly recommend this!

I booked the BYOB sunset cruise to celebrate my dad birthday, and it was the best decision we made all weekend. The atmosphere on board is so fun and social without being a loud, obnoxious 'party boat'—it's just good music, beautiful views, and relaxed people.
The crew (Captain James and Dave) went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They even provided complimentary bottle water, cracked hilarious dad jokes, and kept everyone entertained. It was the perfect way to cap off a special day.

After continuous days of rain we were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny day. James, the captain, was nice and funny (telling jokes along the way). And Victoria was the perfect host. The cruise went smooth and we even saw some dolphins.

Tracy, May 2026
Exceptional crew with Captain James and Dave. Great narrations, friendly interactions. Wonderful sunset views, but also enjoyed touring around the waterfront and hearing about the significant landmarks. The boat was just the right size, not too big or too small. Great value for the price paid. You can bring a cooler on board and they will provide the cups and ice!
Victoria_K, May 2026
Great sunset cruise! Terrific crew… very friendly with great narratives of the sites we passed by. Very enjoyable evening!!!!
Sarah_W, May 2026
So much fun! If you're looking for a laid-back evening cruise with friendly people, "dad jokes," and a little history here and there - this one is for you! We were so pleased with the evening BYOB cruise. The guys running the ship were super nice and they were great at pointing out the dolphins and making sure people were comfortable. Not exactly a party barge like some of the ones you can hear a mile away, but so fun to meet new people and watch people hop on board with their own cooler of booze. 😂 Great music and seriously the best way to end our vacation in St. Augustine.

The captain and crew were very friendly and made this a great experience for me and my family and everyone on board. We had time to take pictures and meet interesting people. The weather was great and we saw a bunch of beautiful dolphins.
Laura_G, Apr 2026
Such a great evening on the water! Smooth sailing and the boat guys were hilarious! Got to see St Augustine from the water after walking it all day. We totally enjoyed our sunset cruise. Got to experience the dolphins frolicking (aka making next years dolphins). One of our best excursions of the trip.
Latoya_W, Apr 2026
I had fun. I was very excited that I had the chance to see the dolphins. The only thing I would recommend to definitely bring you a blanket.
