Rates - Rates for Amelia River Cruises : Amelia River Cruises

Amelia River Cruises rates are determined by each of our distinct cruises. Our prices reflect the season, experience, and the duration of each tour.
Our only January Tour is the Cumberland Coastal Tour; however, we have added 30 minutes to the boat ride without increasing our ticket prices! You get two hours, viewing two shorelines, in two different states, on a boat that leaves at two o’clock! Our winter rates are only $30.00 for adults, $28.00 for active-duty military and seniors ages 65 and up, and $24.00 for kids aged between four and 12, (children three and under are free of charge). We do our best to keep our tours priced for the entire family to enjoy!
We also offer private charters for your next event.

Boats depart as scheduled. We don’t offer refunds if you miss the boat! Reservations are recommended.

Children Rates

Children three and under cruise free on most of our scheduled tours. Children of all ages are charged for the Shrimping Eco Tour. This tour has limited seating available. There are discounted rates for children ages 0 to three, and four to twelve, on our Cumberland Island Tour, the Cumberland Coastal Tour, The Cumberland Sound Sunset Tour, and our specialty cruise, The “Cumberland sound Sunset and Fernandina Fireworks Cruise” sailing on the 4th of July from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m.

The Adult BYOB Twilight Cruise is also an exception. All guests must be 21 years of age and older. This cruise has no discounted pricing as we pay for the fabulous musicians to join us for live music.

When taking one of the tours where children three and under are free, they still must have a reservation and a boarding pass. So, enter them as a passenger aged 0 – 3 when you make your reservation online, there will be no charge for that passenger.

Seniors and Active-duty Military Rates

A $2 discount is available for Seniors (65+) and active-duty service members on the Cumberland Island Tour, the Cumberland Coastal Tour and the Cumberland Sound Sunset Tour.
