My wife and I took the 2-1/2 hour 10am Amelia River Cruise on August 27. Captain Jack piloted the…read moreboat. It was an outstanding cruise. The cruise narrator knew tons of intricate details about the history and places we passed, especially about Cumberland Island. He explained the history of the horses on the island: their origin, breeding and band habits. He gave lots of detail about the Carnegie's and the incredible mansions on the island. He also answered lots of questions from the cruise participants. He was engaging making jokes and quips throughout the cruise. Clearly he has not just done this many times, but has studied and visited the area's history.

We came to Amelia Island with our dog because we heard it was a very dog friendly town. Imagine our…read moreexcitement when we found out that our dog could go on the Sunset river cruise with us! We boarded at 6:15, and were promptly on our way at 6:30. It was a very fun guided tour that taught us a lot about the area's history. We didn't see the wild horses, but we did see dolphins!! And, of course, we saw the most beautiful sunset! I am very glad we got to do this tour since they allowed our pup, and the experience was one of our favorite of the trip.

I cannot say enough good about our tour. Captain Dustin was so personable and knowlegable. He…read moreinteracted so well with the kids and made the tour not only educational (which it was - VERY!) but so fun too. We saw MANY dolphins and he could spot them far off and would steer right over there and point out where we should look. He has a good sense of humor is professional in conduct and in speech, which I appreciated very much too. If you could give a score of 10 star, I would definitely give it 10!

Was not sure what to expect when my friends invited me, but glad I went. I'm not a boat expert nor…read moredo I go boating for anything. But I definitely enjoyed myself. I was even able to see a bunch of dolphins. Captain Dustin seem to be knowledgeable and loved the water. He had great stories and good sense of humor. Definitely, recommend this tour And wear sunblock

Just got home from a wonderful afternoon on the water. Jason scheduled our sailing experience on…read moreMiss Connie's Misadventures. This 30-foot catamaran was the perfect vessel to explore these Florida-Georgia waters. Captain Terry was ready and waiting for us right at 1pm. It was super easy to navigate to North 14th street in Fernandina and find the marina right in time. We had some rain in the way over, but it cleared up just as we parked and embarked. Captain Terry provided safety precautions, showed up where to stow our drinks and gave us the lowdown on our route to the ocean. Once he put the sails up, the wind took us peacefully into deep blue. We saw several dolphins, 2 wild horses on Amelia island, and some pretty birds enjoying the open air. It was a romantic afternoon with my husband. We got to step away from Corona claustrophobia and feel as free as a fish in the sea. Terry even recommended The Salty Pelican, so we have another yelp place to dine in soon! Great boat for taking friends and family out to enjoy Florida's fresh ocean views and get some sun. The weather was kind to us and I only got a little sunburn. Don't forget to ask Terry to play his sailing playlist!

It was pretty simple bottom fishing but we caught fish all day and there was plenty of excitement all around. The boat - a 37 footer - was rigged to fish and very comfortable. Scott recommended the Salty Pelican restaurant who cooked our cobia to order (some grilled, some blackened) and it was excellent. These guys were very accommodating and I'd recommend them highly!

The captain and his wife guided us across the open waters like a man born with a rudder for a spine. The boat was beautiful, the views were breathtaking, and the wind... well, let's just say my hair looked like I lost a fight with a leaf blower. At one point, dolphins swam alongside us, probably just to mock my sunburn. It was majestic. Magical. In short--10/10 would sail again.
