About
The sandbar cruise is a favorite!
Our sandbar cruises are scheduled to coincide with high tide, which brings clear waters from the Gulf Stream. Departing from Sandsprit Park in south Stuart, we'll cruise around the scenic Intracoastal Waterway and St. Lucie River, then anchor up on the sandbar island for exploring.
This cruise is especially good for kids - manatees, dolphins and rays are often seen near the sandbar.
Bring any food or beverages you like! Sandbar cruises run Monday through Friday only. Water shoes are highly recommended!
