Traveler reviews
Evening jazz cruise under the stars.
The experience was worth the trip. The evening was perfect I will recommend the blue heron to all of my friends and family. Thanks for the great memories
Highly recommend
We booked the sunset cruise for the last night of our trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The crew was so personable and friendly and the boat ride was relaxing. We didn’t get any sunset photos due to clouds but it was still the highlight of our trip.
Beautiful, informative, and fun!!
This was so much fun, my husband and I really enjoyed it!
Perfect way to end a day
Absolutely wonderful! Crew were informative, the boat ride was smooth, we saw lots of dolphins, and the sunset was beautiful! This was the last activity on our trip and it was the perfect way to end a week of fun
St Augustine sunset cruise with dolphins
Went on St Augustine sunset boat tour with friends. Capt Evan, guide McKenzie and crew Kelly were awesome with handling the boat, interacting with the group. First let’s talk about the boat: new, clean and spacious. We were not crowded and had open space to walk around. Cash bar and fun music made for great trip. We took off from pier and immediately saw a pod of dolphins frolicking and fishing for their dinner. Guide McKenzie was very knowledgeable and shared details about dolphins, wildlife and best of all…St Augustine. The trip was a perfect 1.5-2 hr length to tour the harbor, pier and bridges. Timing was perfect to see a beautiful sunset. We got great pictures. The cost was affordable and I recommend this to anyone interested in waterfront touring. Thanks for a perfect sunset trip.
