Set sail for a meaningful and memorable evening by joining Amelia River Cruises for a special fundraising event in support of the Free Biscuits Foundation on Saturday, June 6, 2026. This sunset cruise blends the natural beauty of our coastal waterways with the joy of giving back, offering guests a relaxed, scenic, and impactful way to help keep local dogs healthy, happy, and home.
Your $100 ticket includes a stunning sunset tour along the shores of Cumberland Island, where you’ll drift past quiet marshes, open water, and the soft glow of the evening sky. As the boat glides through the river, guests will enjoy live music by Alan Price, whose easygoing style creates the perfect backdrop for conversation, connection, and coastal calm.
To elevate the evening, A1A Spirits will provide handcrafted Greyhound batch cocktails, and The Patio will offer a selection of delicious appetizers. The cruise is BYOB, so feel free to bring along your favorite beverages to enjoy as you take in the views and unwind with friends.
Most importantly, this event directly supports the mission of the Free Biscuits Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to giving pet parents the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to care for their dogs. Through professional education, preventative resources, and hands‑on support, the foundation helps families catch small issues before they become heartbreaks — whether that’s guiding a first‑time owner through the “puppy blues” or assisting a senior who needs help with grooming. Sixty percent of every ticket goes directly toward these programs, ensuring that local dogs receive the care and stability they deserve.
Tickets are expected to sell quickly, and space is limited. Reserve your spot today and enjoy a beautiful evening on the water while supporting a mission that makes a real difference for dogs and the people who love them.
