Fun Trip

Mary_N, Mar 2026
Wear sunscreen if you’re on the top level. You can’t beat the view but the sun beats on you. We met Campers and Steve and they were both adorable.

Fun in the sun on a boat!!!

Maida_B, Feb 2026
We had a wonderful relaxing experience on the top level of the boat. The crew was engaging making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The captain not only provided history and comments about the sites but spotted dolphins along the way. Best to sit on the left side!

Nice but poor sound

Boat ride was nice but the sound system of the boat was terrible on the upper deck. Hard to understand the captain

Boat

A class trip of elementary school kids marched in front of everyone waiting to get on boat. We get on first, out of the way was directed to everyone waiting. Plus they got here 2 minutes prior to boarding.

Boat Ride in St. Augustine

Although it was a cold day, the boat ride was beautiful. The water was calm and flat. It was perfect because we saw all of St. Augustine from the top of the boat. I highly recommend this tour!

Had a great time on the water! Tour was fun and informative. So happy to be able to bring our two small pups with us to see the sights. Best part was seeing the dolphins!!

Relaxing and informative tour!

Mathew_M, Jan 2026
Somehow we were the only folks who booked at this time and the crew took us anyway! We had an absolutely lovely and informative private tour. Highly recommend as a way to see St. Augustine and learn about its history while relaxing. Captain John slowed the boat for us to watch a pod of dolphins frolicking!

The captain was...

Ashley_L, Jan 2026
The captain was personable and friendly. He shared his expansive knowledge of St. Augustine’s history/landmarks with passengers. This boat ride was a great way to see the main sights of the city. It was the perfect amount of time, too. We even saw dolphins! Just make sure you arrive on time to the boat because it departs promptly. Aim to arrive 30 minutes early to the ticket office and 10 minutes early to the boarding dock.

Awesome experience !

It was a very relaxing smooth boat ride. I loved the Captain’s history information, I found out new information listening to the captain as we glided along. This has become a tradition for our family to enjoy your boat ride every New Year’s Eve. It was a great way to end 2025.
