Fun Date Experience

We are local to the area and decided to do something different for a date night. The cruise was awesome, we got to try 6 wines, the Captain and crew were great! We even got to see dolphins. It was a super fun experience. Highly recommend.

Great wine tasting tour with good wine and beautiful scenery

My friends loved the wine tasting cruise. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it! You get 3 whites and 3 reds, and they tell you a bit about each wine before pouring. The pours are just the right size, not too little and not too much. You have enough time to finish it before the next one is served, without feeling rushed. You also get a little charcuterie cone that is a nice compliment to the wine. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and the scenery on the tour is great. We saw so many dolphins! The boat is spacious and not crowded, so it is easy to move about if you want to get up and walk around. This was the highlight of our St. Augustine trip.
