Rates - Amelia River Cruises

Rates for the Amelia River Cruises are determined by each of our distinct cruises. They each have seasonal pricing, and different rates, making it convenient to find the perfect cruises for you. We also offer private charters for your next event. Our prices reflect the experience and duration of the tour.

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

Children

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

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. The discount is for that passenger only, not the entire party. Again, we do not discount our Shrimping Eco Tour or our Adult Only BYOB Twilight Cruise.
