Enjoyed being out on the water on a beautiful April 2024 day learning about historic St. Augustine. Was on the 11am cruise.

Cancelled because of lack of parking available and did not want to gamble on whether a spot would be available. .....................................................................................................................................................

Super easy check-in. Allow yourself enough time for parking snd walking to the dock!! We cut it close! Beautiful day, sat on top level in the warm sunshine with unobstructed views. Knowledgeable captain shared lots of fort history and local information. He was great, took time and maneuvered the boat near dolphins so guests could watch them playing in the water nearby. Nice staff. We took the 2:45 afternoon tour so we could eat brunch beforehand, then have a later dinner at the Columbia. I’d highly recommend this trip, great for romance, families, everyone!

We had a wonderful experience on this river cruise. The Captain and Crew were friendly and made us feel comfortable. We saw dolphins and many species of birds. The view of the city St. Augustine from the water is breathtaking. We would recommend this excursion highly!

A perfect day. Weather was great but the best part was hearing the history of Saint Augustine from the captain whose family has lived here for generations. Highly recommend this wonderful peaceful cruise.

Sharyl_B

None. It was very windy. However the "tour" was simply a big circle around the bay. Seeing the fort from the water was cool.
