“So often, we as residents forget to take advantage of living in St. Augustine,” says Jessica Jadick, Owner of Florida Water Tours. “We get it! We live and work here, life gets busy, and it’s easy to stick to your routine. But that’s why we like to offer locals a special time to enjoy the waterways and extraordinary wildlife. It’s a great way to relax, reconnect, and appreciate the beauty of our city.”
After a decade on the water, Florida Water Tours’ most popular cruise is still their Dolphin & Wildlife Adventure.

The Dolphin & Wildlife Adventure is a family-friendly excursion. The 90-minute Sunset Cruise departs just before sunset, so passengers can enjoy the sights and keep an eye out for wildlife while also enjoying the stunning transition from twilight to evening. The Sunset Cruise on board Florida Water Tours’ newest power catamaran, Great Blue Heron, is for adults 21 and older. The Sunset Eco Cruise is a family-friendly evening trip on the 45-foot pontoon boat, Osprey, for adults and children 5 and older. Just in time for the beginning of spooky season, the Moonlit Mysteries: Haunted History Boat Tour takes off in the dark and features guides who spin tales tied to St. Augustine’s over 460 years of history. From the haunted St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum to the shores of the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, this 75-minute cruise is steeped in historic lore. This cruise is for passengers ages 13 and older. Both the Great Blue Heron and Osprey feature an onboard bar that offers alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for purchase.
