Going Coastal Boat Tours offers intimate, small-group and private boat tours in St. Augustine, Florida, showcasing the city’s historic bayfront, wildlife, and seasonal light displays. Operating custom, six-passenger charters, the company focuses on personalized experiences: sunrise cruises, sunset and twilight sails, dolphin and wildlife watching, and specialty voyages such as the Regatta of Lights, Nights of Lights, and private fireworks or holiday-charter options. Every tour includes a knowledgeable local captain who narrates the route, points out landmarks like the Castillo de San Marcos and St. Augustine Lighthouse, and adapts the trip to guest interests and pacing. Safety and comfort are prioritized with well-maintained vessels, life jackets on board, and clear pre-tour guidance that makes trips accessible for families, couples, and small groups.
