The company specializes in small-group sightseeing, dolphin watching, and themed cruises that accommodate up to six guests per trip.

Captains are knowledgeable about St. Augustine’s harbor, waterways, and historic waterfront landmarks, and they follow safe boating practices and local regulations.

Private charters prioritize personalized service, photo-friendly routes, and wildlife viewing opportunities, especially bottlenose dolphins commonly sighted in the area. Reservations typically accommodate groups of family and friends seeking a private, relaxed cruise rather than a large commercial vessel experience. Pricing, availability, and seasonal schedules vary; advance booking is recommended for popular sunset and weekend slots. Tiny Tug Tours LLC maintains a focus on guest comfort with provided beverages and light snacks, and offers flexible options for special occasions such as proposals, anniversaries, and small celebrations.
