The sea air carries a gentle salt tang as you step aboard a sleek 34-foot sailing vessel tucked into Camachee Cove Marina, just outside St Augustine's historic district. The boat rocks lightly as the USCG-licensed captain casts off, the dock fading behind you, replaced by the expansive blue embrace of the Tolomato River. This shared day sail invites adventurers of all ages to engage with the currents and views of Northeast Florida’s oldest city from a fresh perspective.

Adventure Tips
Bring layered clothing
Coastal winds can shift quickly; layering helps manage sun exposure and wind chill.

Wear non-slip footwear
Boat decks can be slick; shoes with good grip improve safety when boarding and moving around.
Prepare for boarding steps
Be ready to climb several steps to get on the boat; this may challenge limited mobility guests.
