You step off the riverwalk onto the creaking deck of the USS Orleck as the St. Johns slips north beneath you, daring the night forward. The ship’s steel and rivets frame the skyline; neon signs and low-slung breweries hum down the block. This is not a bar crawl—it’s an urban run through Jacksonville’s waterfront personality, punctuated by craft taps, rooftop air, and a DJ-fueled finale.
