About this Experience
What you'll do:
Step aboard a private boat charter in Jacksonville and spend the day shaping the route around your crew, not a stranger's schedule.
Board Your Private Charter - Meet your licensed captain and crew, then settle onto a vessel reserved just for your group.
Cruise the Intracoastal Waterway - Wind through Jacksonville's rivers, inlets, and scenic waterways at your own pace.
Pull Up to a Sandbar - Anchor at a local sandbar to swim, wade, or soak up the sun with your group.
Stop at Waterfront Bars and Restaurants - Dock at a spot along the route for drinks or a bite before heading back out.
Set the Vibe - Hook up your own playlist, dance on the open deck, or kick back and let the water do the work.
Whether the day calls for loud music and dancing or a slow drift past the skyline, the route bends to match the mood your group brings aboard.
