The captain was knowledgeable and he didnt blather throughout the tour. It was very relaxing and well worth the cost. The sea breeze during the cruise made this well worth it as a break from the summer St Augustine heat. 5 stars.
Shelly_B, Jul 2026
It was nice and relaxing. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. We saw some fish.
There is no parking lot but we went in the evening and parked at the fort.

“Take a Scenic Boat Ride in St Augustine” was a fun, entertaining, and educational tour. Not too long, it takes 1 hour and 15 minutes. You see the full St Augustine harbor, local beaches, the beautiful St Augustine lighthouse, a harborside view of the fort, and the full St Augustine skyline. We saw a few dolphins and maybe a manatee.
The boat itself is great because it has two levels, inside and outside seating, and choice of shade or full sun. You can walk around to stretch your legs or remain seated. The snack and drink bar had plenty of choices.
All in all it was a pleasant tour that I would recommend.

Had a great day on the water. Captain was very informative. St Augustine is a wonderful town to visit.
Christopher_N, Jul 2026
Wonderful experience. Had another cruise planned for that evening but just wanted to get out on the water sooner. The company was easy to deal with and accommodating. Captain was a descendant from original settlers to St Augustine. Very knowledgeable about local waterways, landmarks and even restaurant recommendations. Would highly recommend.

A great water veiw of the area, well worth the money. Dolphins were cool, and a good look at fishing possibilities.
Abe_J, Jul 2026
Excellent! Captain very knowledgeable of area! Slowed to point out dolphins. Just such a nice time and very comfortable to experience!
Sonia_L, Jul 2026
Very informative there were moments of silence that could be filled with music or other activities. Aside from that, very enjoyable and relaxing. We also found the history of St. Augustine informative and also identified a few hidden gems that we’ll be adding to our to-do list during our next visit.

It was a positive experience. Captain John was a great narrator. His commentary was very clear and able to be heard and understood. The seats we had were based on the suggestion of a crew member and were excellent. The boat was easily accessible as well.
Quan_C, Jun 2026
The tour was great! The captain did a wonderful job of explaining the history of the city, we even saw a pod of dolphins. He was patient and interactive with my kiddos. He allowed them to steer the boat. We had a blast.
Diane_Q, Jun 2026
It was interesting and informative.
Unfortunately it was going to rain and it was lightning so we came in a few minutes early and fortunately because shortly after there was a torrential rain

A relaxing way to learn about the history of St Augustine. The Captain’s provided a unique personal perspective not available in a brochure.
Diana_T, Jun 2026
It was a great experience, tour, all the history you learn about and Captain John was really nice and great.😊
VickiL_W, Jun 2026
It's very relaxing, and the area is beautiful. The "history" was also interesting. The only inconvenience is that for handicapped/ mobility challenged there is no nearby/ convenient parking, and no flat ground entrance from parking to dock, and the boat is almost the last slip on the dock.
Sharon_J, Jun 2026
It’s so calm & relaxing & enjoyable to hear the history related to the community.
I try to take this tour every time I’m in St Augustine
Michael_A, Jun 2026

Kathy_M, Jun 2026
It was a nice cruise, even though very few people were scheduled for the trip, the crew still took us out as if it was a full boat. I liked the history information the captain provided as well as places to go eat. The views were beautiful and we even saw dolphins and manatees.

It is a very nice way to spend your evening. We enjoyed learning historical facts about St. Augustine while cruising the bay. The cost of the cruise is very reasonable. Our captain and crew mates were very friendly and knowledgeable.
