Sightseeing



My Sightseeing "Tours" are great for families or couples who would like to get out on the water and see Amelia Island from another perspective. They normally run about 2 hours and put you up close and personal with the ecosystem's of North Florida. We'll cruise the downtown waterfront, pass Old Town Fernandina and the Pogy plant then slip back through the marsh's of Tiger Island to see the oyster beds, marsh grass, and fiddler crabs. Depending on the time of year there is a chance we'll see porpoises, manatee, Rosette Spoonbill, Osprey's and a variety of Shore birds. We may cruise the Cumberland Island shoreline searching for wild horses and then cross to see historic Fort Clinch.

Why choose a "custom tour" over the crowded tour boats? Well, you've got the waterway to yourself and you can go when you want to. If we see something that interests you or if you want to stop and snap pictures, I'll pull the boat over and let you enjoy your time. I've had a number of trips where the manatee were eating along the shoreline so we stopped the engine and drifted, allowing the gentle creaturs to swim by undisturbed and only a few feet away!

Want to check out the oyster beds and the sea life that live in and around them? I'll ease the bow up to them so you can see for yourself. Seeing Amelia Island from the water is a great way to take in this beautiful ecosystem and it's a wonderful learning experience for young and old alike. Get away from it all and...let's go boating!
