Captain Grant is the kind of guide who makes a place feel like it belongs to you. Knowledgeable about St. Augustine's history, ecology, and hidden spots, he weaves local storytelling into every outing while keeping things relaxed and fun. Repeat visitors are common, with several reviewers booking again on the same trip or returning for milestone occasions like bachelorette parties and family reunions. The boats are consistently described as clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and Grant's communication before and during trips earns special praise. He monitors weather closely, checks in with guests about what they want from the day, and adjusts accordingly. Dogs are welcome, and the crew has a knack for handling groups of all sizes and energy levels. Hidden sandbars, dolphin sightings, Driftwood Beach, and sunset bar hops are among the highlights guests mention most. Josh also gets a nod as a great co-captain on select trips. If you're looking for a water experience in St. Augustine that feels personal rather than generic, this crew delivers consistently.
I recently went on one of their day excursions and wow, I was so impressed! It was such a fun way to experience St. Augustine through the lens of the captain. The crew was incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating, and they were really willing to tailor the ride to what everyone wanted. I also joined them for a separate beach clean-up boat day, which was such a fun and meaningful way to give back to the environment. I really love that this company puts care into both the land and the people here. It feels like they’re doing tourism in a way that’s thoughtful, community-minded, and genuinely respectful of the place.
