They emptied out the pontoon and replaced the cap. This past week they did my annual engine tune up. Quickly got the work done and power washed my boat. They also did a repair on my Bimini top that I had accidentally broken. Great repair done at a reasonable cost. Two thumbs up for the service crew. I've had many years of good service there!

We signed up for an airboat adventure, and Captain Becca was absolutely fantastic. She was…read moreextremely knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire experience a lot of fun. This was my first time on an airboat, and it definitely did not disappoint. While I wish we had seen a bit more wildlife, we still got to spot an alligator, a few turtles, and some beautiful ospreys along the way. The music added a really fun energy to the ride and made the experience even more memorable. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a unique and exciting adventure.

It went from a hard downpour to bright sun and heat, and I was so happy that the tour wasn't canceled. We saw beautiful birds and lots of turtle heads amongst the lily pads, but no alligators.

Today at the Melrose boat launch ramp, I witnessed some truly unacceptable behavior from a local…read morebusiness owner. DJ, from DJ's Kayak and Canoe Rentals, aggressively confronted an elderly couple who were simply trying to load up their boat and leave. DJ had just arrived at the ramp with his trailer of kayaks right as the couple began loading up. It took them less than five minutes, but during that time, DJ loudly berated them, making snide remarks and pressuring them to move their trailer so he could back his in. His tone was hostile, impatient, and completely uncalled for. After the couple drove away, DJ continued to mock them in front of his clients, sarcastically repeating "Welcome to Melrose" and making further rude comments. I can't confirm this part, but I believe I also overheard him say something disrespectful about other kayakers launching nearby, including a comment about someone's service dog. Seeing all this, I felt compelled to leave a review on his business page, because this kind of behavior isn't just unprofessional, it's damaging to the welcoming, respectful atmosphere our community is known for. If someone treats locals this way, I personally don't think they should be supported by the community. Below is the response he gave to my review on Google.

My friends loved the wine tasting cruise. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it! You get 3 whites and…read more3 reds, and they tell you a bit about each wine before pouring. The pours are just the right size, not too little and not too much. You have enough time to finish it before the next one is served, without feeling rushed. You also get a little charcuterie cone that is a nice compliment to the wine. There is also the option to pre-order a larger charcuterie box. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and the scenery on the tour is great. We saw so many dolphins! The boat is spacious and not crowded, so it is easy to move about if you want to get up and walk around. This was the highlight of our St. Augustine trip.

The boat was clean and the people at the office were very professional. The crew for the boat were nice and knowledgeable.

We had such a good time. I highly recommend this company.

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.

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.

There is a nice little Pavilion, a playground, a fountain, a little historic building, and restrooms. We need parts like this. Place is for the community to gather and be able to relax and get away from the stress of life in the modern world. This park is the type of park for families to go to and as the children grow up, they will return with their children. All in all, I would definitely recommend a visit to this park and I give it five stars.
