We cannot say enough good things about this tour. We had an amazing time and learned so much! Tami was extremely knowledgeable about the animals we saw and gave us a lot of little St. Augustine tidbits, including restaurant recommendations. Captain Greg was so nice and professional. The highlights were the countless dolphins all around us throughout the entire tour. We definitely want to come back and do it again!

Was not able to take cruise due to weather, but the people were very good about keeping us informed and trying to get us to go another day. Unfortunately had to come home but they said next time I come they will be glad to take us out for the cruise.

The captain and his wife, Lindsy interacted with all the passengers...the captain allowed young children to pilot the boat, while Lindsey give us local history discussion while also answering questions. When we spotted dolphins in the harbor, the captain circled around for a better view. Well done, relaxed cruise!

It was a pleasant experience but we didn’t see much sea life. Good crew and interesting information.

Clear instructions for how to get there. The captains are super sweet and knowledgeable (talking about the history along with some jokes). Having a good time and highly recommend.
(Plenty parking should be around that area. If it is busy, you can park a little bit further away along the vilano road.

Lots of dolphin sightings, as well as some of the super pretty historical sightings. The sightings were much better viewing from the boat then it was on land. The captain was great and super informative without being to talkative so your able to soak it all in, in a laidback atmosphere.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
St Augustine is so full of cool history - Jimmy puts a nice spin on it and throws in a few dad jokes - but does let you enjoy it on your own as well - come see us when you are back around. Della

We would love to get a voucher to do the trip again! Unfortunately, storms rolled in and our trip was shortened! The captain was awesome! Just didn’t get to see the sea life since the storms were coming through and we had to cut the trip short! Thank you, Cindy Byrne
