About
AIP private boat tours provide a relaxing trip through the intercoastal waterway watching nature at its best. Maybe we will get a visit from a dolphin pod or see an Osprey or Pelican catch a fish. Stop with the family at the island or sandbar and enjoy floating on the tubes and maybe lunch at the island or maybe stop by one of the restaurants on the water on the way home. Boat Tour St. Augustine or Jacksonville also make a great gift.
