What you'll do:

You step aboard for a Jacksonville sunset cruise that starts with calm coastal views and builds into music, drinks, and dancing as the sky changes color.

• Pick Your Route - Choose the St. Augustine Sunset Waterways Cruise past the lighthouse and Bridge of Lions, or the longer Palm Valley Sunset Cruise through the protected waters near Guana Preserve.

• Watch the Sky Change - Settle into covered or open-air seating as the Intracoastal scenery shifts from afternoon calm to golden hour.

• Bring Your Own Drinks - Pack a cooler and use onboard bar access to keep your group's drinks flowing the whole ride.

• Dance to Live Music - Move to onboard music and entertainment as the energy builds from relaxed sightseeing to a lively on-water party.

• Spot Local Wildlife - Keep an eye out for dolphins and other wildlife along the way, a highlight on both routes.

The ride starts easy and builds into a full party by the time the sun drops, giving your group sightseeing and a night out in one trip.

Why we love it for your group celebration:

• Golden-Hour Views - The sunset backdrop over the water delivers a dramatic setting with zero extra planning on your part.

• BYOB Flexibility - Bringing your own drinks keeps costs down and lets your group drink what it actually wants.

• Built-In Energy Shift - The cruise naturally moves from chill to lively, so there's no awkward lull mid-trip.

• Two Route Options - Choosing between St. Augustine landmarks and Guana Preserve nature lets you match the cruise to your group's vibe.

• Shared, Social Seating - Open seating keeps your whole group together and mingling instead of split across private tables.
