As the yacht cruises westward along the St. John's River, the city’s bridges, historic architecture, and riverside parks unfold like a moving postcard, while the gentle river breeze and dancing sunlight over the water create an atmosphere perfect for leisure and reflection.
What truly elevates this cruise is the carefully curated brunch buffet catered by The Local, a Jacksonville favorite. Guests savor a diverse spread featuring savory breakfast tacos—scrambled eggs with cheddar, bacon, or slow-roasted short rib paired with a sriracha aioli—alongside seasoned oven-baked hashbrowns. The waffle and parfait bar offers an array of flavors including fresh pineapple, strawberries, hot honey chicken, maple syrup, and Greek yogurt, all thoughtfully paired to satisfy sweet and savory cravings.
Complementing the food is a complimentary mimosa, beer, or wine, with additional drinks available at two onboard bars. Live saxophone and DJ performances by Pierre Kendrick enrich the ambiance, offering an elegant soundtrack as Jacksonville’s river symphony plays on.
