Beautiful view of the lights of St. Augustine! Friendly guide, bring a blanket! I recommend seeing the Festival of Lights from this perspective.

I had an amazing time…one of the most beautiful nights i’ve experienced and we enjoyed ourselves out on the water. Captain was very informative and funny. They offered blankets which helped keep us warm on the windy night we went. I would definitely book this tour when visiting St Augustine again.

Our crew was great. We had a longer cruise so detoured to watch dolphins. We learned history and ecology.

What an amazing experience! As a family outing this was perfect - a night time tour of the Nights of Lights in St Augustine. We had originally scheduled for December but it was raining - the company easily helped us with switching dates. There were five of us. The directions to the boat were excellent but funny - look for the bluebird, look for the 3 dolphins...we felt like we were in a board game. It made the experience all the more fun. The boat arrived on time and as the passengers disembarked all we heard were good things. There were about ten people on our excursion. Captain Jimmy was an excellent source of historical information about the island. He made me want to run home and hop in the internet to learn more. We saw the lights from the boat and that was magical. Plenty of photo ops and he stopped the boat for them. For me, the history of the island, specifically the Timuquan people and the Fort - that was fantastic. Thank you Captain Jimmy and Jayce for a memorable family outing! You will see us again soon!

It was nice but the trip lasted exactly an hour and it was supposed to be an hour and 40 mins due to fireworks for new years so we missed that.

Many of the historic aspects of the SA skyline were very interesting and the Cross from the first Christian Service.

Great tour of Nights of Lights! Captain is a local and very knowledgeable! St. Augustine is beautiful from the water.
