Travelers

The engine’s low rumble is the first thing you notice—the Slingshot’s V-twin heartbeat under an open sky. You climb in, the Atlantic breeze already drafting past the low windshield, and the streets of St. Augustine unfold: salt-streaked palms, narrow brick lanes, and the squat silhouette of Castillo de San Marcos keeping watch over the harbor.

Adventure Tips

Driver age & documents

Drivers must be 25+ and present a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance, and a credit/debit card for the refundable deposit.

Wear sun protection

Open-air riding exposes you to strong Florida sun—use sunscreen, sunglasses, and a brimmed hat during stops.

Helmets included — use them

Helmets are provided and required; they reduce wind fatigue and improve comfort on longer coastal stretches.

Respect traffic and cobblestones

Slow down on Old Town’s cobblestones and follow one-way streets—locals and pedestrians share tight spaces.

St. Augustine was founded by Spanish explorers in 1565 and is the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the continental U.S., with coquina rock used in many historic structures.

Conservation

Stay on paved roads and marked pullouts to protect dunes and bird nesting habitat; operators emphasize lawful driving and city ordinances to minimize local impact.
