Nice tour around St. Augustine waters where we saw dolphin and manatee swimming nearby. Highly knowledgeable about history and land formations such as the disappearing island. Highly recommend.

Very relaxing. Definitely worth every moment. My husband and my teenage granddaughter went along for the ride. Both Captains were fantastic. Wasn’t expecting the history lesson. We loved it. The weather was perfect. I would definitely recommend.

Our ladies church group had an amazing time! Captain Scott and Captain Chris were very friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging at all times. They made us feel special. Gave us their undivided attention. Both were super entertaining. At one point, Captain Scott slowed down the boat so we could observe dolphins. Overall, it was the best boat tour experience. Will highly recommend your company - 10 out of 10!

Sunset cruise

James_G, Jun 2026
Ride was at a causal and relaxing pace . Was somewhat overcast so sunset was so so . Saw no dolphins or sea turtles. Captain and first mate very friendly and informative.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Sometimes the sunset and dolphin/sea turtles are not always in our favor - come see us another time when you are back around - different every single time. Della

No sun set it as cool but...

Nice sunset tour in St Augustine!

Polina_M, Jun 2026
Nice sunset tour on a boat in St Augustine! The captain and helper were very nice and got us close to the dolphins. Would’ve liked for them to give some more historical context and be more like guides than drivers. However, we did have a big family there and enjoyed it!

Best Boat Tours

brook_c, Aug 2025
This was the best Boat tour I’ve ever been on. They were very friendly and informative about details. It was absolutely breathtaking and beautiful! I recommend! Normally I don’t write reviews but I can’t stay enough wondering things about my experience

Awesome Experience!

Rhonda_S, Aug 2025
Kevin is a wonderful, funny, experienced and history loving captain!! We all had such a memorable time and hope to come back some day. Also, Bea, Captain Kevin’s assistant is the most interesting and fully informed tour guide we could have ever hoped to learn from. I have a history minor in college but her knowledge far exceeds mine regarding St. Augustine! My husband and I really loved our relaxing, informative and fun loving time on the water with these two!

Great Sunset Tour

Shawn_B, Jul 2025
Captain Jimmy and crew were very attentive and friendly. We had pulled out from the dock and a couple was coming down the ramp and the captain said let’s hold up just a minute to make sure they were not left behind. I am handicapped and they were very helpful with my boarding and seating. Della in the office was very kind and very professional and patient with me calling to ensure I would have the help I needed.

We loved our sunset boat...
