Description

The St. Augustine Champagne Sunset Cruise is a relaxing 90-minute evening cruise that showcases amazing views of the colorful St. Augustine sunset as a backdrop for waterfront panoramas featuring the iconic historic landmarks along the St. Augustine waterfront. This exclusive seasonal cruise takes advantage of optimal weather and water conditions to ensure a tranquil evening sail with beautiful views of the horizon. This is the perfect sunset cruise for celebrating an anniversary, a proposal, a special family occasion, or simply a good time with a loved one. Complimentary champagne, light snacks, and a selection of beverages make this cruise a happy hour at sea set on the spacious deck of a smooth-riding custom-built ocean catamaran. A Champagne Sunset Cruise is a St. Augustine bucket-list item you have to try at least once!

You will cruise in luxurious comfort as your expert local captain pilots the boast past the historic landmarks along the Intracoastal Waterway shoreline and on the St. Augustine Waterfront. Take a seat or move around the spacious viewing deck as friendly crew members keep your drink freshened up and point out interesting sights along the way. As the boat passes Vilano Point, look to the west for glimpses of the towering Great Cross silhouetted against the sunset. The run up the Matanzas River offers great views of the high stone walls of Castillo de San Marcos — the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States. The impressive span of the Bridge of Lions towers overhead as the boat glides along St. Augustine’s Historic Bayfront. Photo opportunities are abundant as the colors of the setting sun bring dramatic highlights to the St. Augustine skyline, but be sure to also keep an eye on the water because sea birds, bottlenose dolphins, and even the occasional manatee are all common sites along these waterways.

This top-rated St. Augustine sunset cruise is the perfect way to end a day of touring in America’s Oldest City. The Saint Augustine Champagne Sunset Cruise invites you to leave stress on shore, immerse yourself completely in an unforgettable classic seaside resort experience, and let the mild sea breezes, beautiful scenery, and centuries of history sweep you away. Raise a glass with a loved one, celebrate with friends, or create lifetime family memories as the sky blazes with color in ways that are only seen during sunsets on the water. The atmosphere on board is always festive and lively as guests enjoy rounds of icy margaritas, cold beer, red and white wines, Coke products, and lemonade along with a selection of snacks. And don’t forget to grab a glass of champagne for the traditional sunset toast!

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on St Augustine Dolphin Watch & St. Augustine Historical Landmark Cruise?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
