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. Choose your cruise and enjoy an experience that takes you along salt marshes, maritime forests, and wilderness beaches; you may even see wild horses! Cruises depart at 10am, 2pm, and 6:30pm, 6 days a week; we do not offer the Sunset Tour on Sundays after September 1st. We offer a 2-hour Shrimping Eco Tour at 10:30am on Saturdays, or perhaps you prefer a 2-hour Adult Only BYOB Cruise at 6pm, on Friday and Saturdays with live music. Private tours available.

Q:
Which cruise do you recommend? The Cumberland Island or Beach Creek? We will be taking the ferry to Cumberland Island the day before.
A:
Either is enjoyable ... the Cumberland Island one gives a little more history of the Carnegies and Kennedy's plus history about Fort Clinch. I personally prefer the Cumberland Island one!
Q:
Can I bring an 8 month old on the boat?
A:
I see no reason not to bring an 8 month old on the River Cruise. Seating with an infant would be no problem. Can be windy so a little hat would probably be advisable. Enjoy
