Cruising on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings through July, you will want to book this cruise in advance! We have been cruising the waters of Amelia and Cumberland Islands watching the wildlife come out to show off for 26 years. Playful dolphins, curious sea turtles, and the wild horses of Cumberland Island are somehow even more spectacular when you are enjoying the sway of the boat and watching the magic of a setting sun over the water. (This is a sightseeing tour with live music. While you may hear a little about the wildlife or an interesting tidbit of local lore from our Captains, please book a different cruise if you want to hear about the fascinating history of our area.)
All of our boats have a restroom for your comfort, and this cruise offers a chance to soak up the sunset while taking in the stunning views of Fernandina’s charming shrimp boats, the historic Fort Clinch, maritime forests, Old Town, the Cumberland Island National Seashore, and much more. Join us for an unforgettable two-hour journey as you are serenaded into the twilight, where every moment is a celebration of nature’s beauty and serenity.
