Our local USCG certified captains will show you the diversity of our southern treasure we call Amelia Island on one of our guided boat tours.

Have you heard the rumors of wild horses that can be spotted on the beach? If you choose to do the Cumberland Island Boat Tour, our captain will lead you on an adventure to our neighbors north of us in Georgia. The island is known and treasured for its wealth of history and of course the beautiful animals that roam the beaches. Our captain will help you explore the area with tales of wealthy industrialists, revolutionary war heroes, and much more. Dolphins and manatees are playful in this area and can be often seen swimming next to our tours. The majestic horses that live on Cumberland Island run freely on the coastline and can be admired by boat. As the Cumberland Island Boat Tour is our most popular boating tour it guaranteed to wow you.

Travelers will have the opportunity to see the outside of the fort.
