Set sail on a private sunset cruise in St. Augustine, Florida, where history meets the sea in a stunning display of coastal charm. This 90-minute voyage offers an intimate experience on your own captained boat, welcoming up to 12 passengers for a personalized adventure along the St. Augustine Intracoastal Waterway.

Your journey begins at 446 Ocean Vista Ave, where your captain will warmly welcome you aboard a well-appointed vessel equipped with Bluetooth audio, so you can set the soundtrack for your evening. As you settle in, the boat gently moves away from shore, revealing dramatic views of the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, a 17th-century fortification built from coquina stone that stands as a testament to St. Augustine’s colonial past. Just beyond, the Bridge of Lions stretches elegantly over the Matanzas River, and the towering St. Augustine Lighthouse commands the skyline — its red-and-white stripes standing proudly against a sky painted in shades of coral and gold.
The cruise is more than a sightseeing tour — it’s a chance to revel in the calm of the water, share stories, and create lasting memories with friends or family. You’re encouraged to bring your favorite snacks and beverages, crafting your own floating celebration as dolphins occasionally break the surface nearby, curious companions of the sea.
