It was a great day on the water with the Amelia River Cruises & Charters company at the helm…read more It was my first time visiting Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach and wanted to get an overlay of the area and the river cruise seemed like the perfect thing to get an overview of the area. And I wasn't wrong! The tour lasted about 90 minutes (and it leaves promptly FYI) and takes you along the shoreline of Amelia Island - past the shrimping boats and past a Civil War era fort - before heading towards Cumberland Island National Seashore. This is where the true fun of the tour was for me. I had no idea really the history of the island and found it fascinating how the Carnegies and Rockefellers and more of the country's elite used this random Georgia seashore as their private escape. The history of both Cumberland and Amelia Islands is incredibly fascinating and the guides for both the Florida and Georgia sides respectively were well informed and personable. Plus - you'll very likely see a ton of great wildlife throughout including dolphins and wild horses and pigs. It's a great way to spend an afternoon in the area and a fabulous introduction to Cumberland Island National Seashore/Park.

Really nice boat Super friendly tour guides…read moreStunning g views of fort an horses on Cumberland Island Wonderful sunset.! Good pricing!

This company uses commission-based software for their bookings called Fare Harbor. Fare Harbor…read morecharges the customer a 6% fee for online bookings. This fee can be WAIVED if the booking is made over the phone or in person. No one at this company facilitates bookings over the phone, forcing the consumer to utilize this predatory booking software that makes all of their money through fees charged to the customer. This company doesn't pay a dime to use Fare Harbor. The booking software is free to them, and the customer pays for it through the fees. Many other alternatives do not make money this way: Bookeo, Resova, Checkfront, etc. This company doesn't have to use predatory software like fare harbor. They could pay for their software instead of forcing customers to pay for it. I have used this taxi service before for a sunset cruise. The staff is very friendly, and the boat ride is lovely. I wish they would change to a different software OR take reservations over the phone so customers wouldn't be forced to pay for their office supplies

So we rescheduled for mid-May. This time, everyone made it;))) We arrived a few minutes before the boat launched. It was extra crowded as we were told another tour company cancelled, so they let those customers on our boat. It was tight, but we were ready for some fun! We were moving along on Matanzas Bay about 10 minutes. I went to the restroom and noticed some open space in the back of the boat. I went back to the front and got me friends and that's where we hung out the remainder of the boat ride. I'm not a fan of restricted space, so this move felt great! We saw dolphins and an amazing sunset. We went under the Lions Bridge, went by the St Augustine Lighthouse and Castillo de San Marcos. I can't explain how absolutely perfect the weather was that night. But if I go again, I will choose mid-May! Not too hot or humid. The staff was fabulous and friendly! Don't forget to tip them when exiting the boat.
