About
The sunrises and mornings on the Crystal Coast are some of the prettiest times of the day. The weather hasn’t yet reached the heat it’ll reach in the afternoon, the sunrise (if you want to leave that early) is gorgeous, and the water is often much smoother than it is in the afternoon. It’s a beautiful time of the day, meant to be appreciated. Often in the mornings, our horses are also closer to the water for easy viewing! That’s why we offer our Morning Mimosa Tiki Cruise. Meet our captain at the dock at the Boathouse - right next to the Beaufort Hotel - bright and early, and get ready to experience the beauty of the Crystal Coast from the deck of our tiki boat while you have a morning drink, alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
