St. Augustine Boat Tours invites you to trade the sidewalk for the shimmering waters of Matanzas Bay. Led by Coast Guard-certified captains who know every ripple of the Intracoastal, each cruise layers lively history with close-up encounters among dolphins, osprey, and endless sky. Our comfortable, small-group boats slip into hidden creeks or glide past icons like the Castillo and Lighthouse, giving you perspectives no land tour can match. Whether gathering family, marking a milestone, or simply chasing a golden sunset, we craft relaxed, memorable voyages you’ll treasure long after you step back ashore.
Highly recommend this sunset tour. Captain and crew were very knowledgeable and entertaining.
