Wonderful time! Relaxing! Enjoyed many dolphin sightings and a fun tour. Great tour guide and captain. Highly recommend
It was a wonderful time with Captain AJ, Rose, and the other stewardess!! Very informative and entertaining.
It is the best way to find peace being surrounded by beauty, sounds and sights of nature, friendly shipmates and a crew high on hospitality. I took a friend who was visiting as I navigate treatment to stay in the cancer free zone. We were going to chemo treatment the next day and this perfect excursion from Jacksonville was just the right think. There was friendly crowd that started talked while waiting to board. The crew was great. The guide engaged us with facts, humor and takes of tht haunts. There was beauty, history and a place to just be. It was a great choice and gave us much more than we expected. I'm already making plans to go with another friend. Keep of the good work .
The sunset cruise was a great time. We were in St. Augustine celebrating my mom's 70th birthday.
The sunset cruise was a fantastic time- from watching the dolphins playing in the water to seeing the sun set along the city sky line. It was a great experience and I would absolutely recommend it!
The sunset cruise was just the perfect amount of time and we got to see dolphins! We loved the drinks on board as well.

An absolute must for visitors! This was so fun and educational. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable!

about St. Augustine as well. The crew was very nice. It was a relaxing ride.
The sunset cruise was great!!!!The crew made it very enjoyable and we saw a lot of active dolphins!!
The staff was amazing and the scenery was beautiful. Easy on and easy off the boat. Easy to book online and easy to check-in. This attraction was by far our favorite event. I would do it again every time I visit.
The guides gave us really good information and made it very enjoyable. We loved seeing the feathers and fins too.
Beautiful evening onboard Florida Water Tours pontoon boat. The staff were wonderful, informative and friendly. Such a great way to wind down the day!
What a beautiful experience. The views were wonderful and the staff was awesome. Lots of great photos and very informative.
Very enjoyable & informative! Great staff! Would highly recommend! Lots of birthdays and anniversary celebrations onboard! Fun time!
We really enjoyed this sunset cruise. Even though there was no music on board it was a very pleasant and worthwhile sunset cruise. The tour director was very knowledgeable about the area and had a great sense of humor.
It was done safely and on time. It was informative and the crew was great. Despite the rain it was still a nice trip.
Lovely pontoon boat ride in calm waters at sunset. We rode past the iconic places such as the lighthouse, fort and bridge of Lions. Party boat music and drinks were made available. Crew on board were polite and engaging. Only downside to trip was when alarms went off and crew seemed to ignore it. Eventually, the engine shut down completely and we lost both engine and electric at night with a thunderstorm quickly approaching. Although the engine outage was only for a few minutes, we puttered into the marina without any navigational safety lighting. Since we were onboard with our elderly parents, we did have concern about their safety if extraordinary measures were required. Please keep up with the maintenance of your fleet!
Beautiful trip with calm waters, cool breeze, small bar that allowed a tab, a few Dolphins, and lots of birds. Could not hear the commentary very well because of chatter from others.
We had a wonderful time. The staff was great and the trip was very relaxing. Highly recommend. Very nice time.

Thanks for the five stars! See you next time.
It was good but I wish we would’ve had a little bit more history! Also I thought they would’ve pointed out the lighthouse turning on!!
