Our captains take you to explore our local rivers in search of playful dolphins, sea turtles, birds, and more, all while sharing the history of Amelia and Cumberland Islands. Our accessible boats have bathrooms, are pet friendly, and you're welcome to bring your own food and drink onboard. In January, we offer our 2:00 PM tour, Mon - Sat.; February - weather permitting - we will also offer our 10 AM tour. Check our schedule online, choose your cruise and enjoy an experience that takes you along salt marshes, maritime forests, and wilderness beaches; you may even see wild horses! In March, cruises depart at 10am, 2pm, 5:30 Sunset Tour, and our 2-hour Adult Only BYOB Cruises return Friday and Saturdays, beginning March 14th with live music.
