Sunset Cruise in st Augustine Florida

We really enjoyed this sunset cruise. Even though there was no music on board it was a very pleasant and worthwhile sunset cruise. The tour director was very knowledgeable about the area and had a great sense of humor.

A fun evening

It was done safely and on time. It was informative and the crew was great. Despite the rain it was still a nice trip.

Fun cruise for all ages

Lovely pontoon boat ride in calm waters at sunset. We rode past the iconic places such as the lighthouse, fort and bridge of Lions. Party boat music and drinks were made available. Crew on board were polite and engaging. Only downside to trip was when alarms went off and crew seemed to ignore it. Eventually, the engine shut down completely and we lost both engine and electric at night with a thunderstorm quickly approaching. Although the engine outage was only for a few minutes, we puttered into the marina without any navigational safety lighting. Since we were onboard with our elderly parents, we did have concern about their safety if extraordinary measures were required. Please keep up with the maintenance of your fleet!
