This expert planning ensured we did not have to fight the tides in either direction! Their outstanding rental service and answering of any and all pertinent questions allowed us to reach and enjoy Cumberland island even during a government shutdown. I highly recommend their outfitting services to anyone interested in aquatic adventures or tours in the Cumberland island vicinity!

This 30-foot catamaran was the perfect vessel to explore these Florida-Georgia waters. Captain Terry was ready and waiting for us right at 1pm. It was super easy to navigate to North 14th street in Fernandina and find the marina right in time. We had some rain in the way over, but it cleared up just as we parked and embarked. Captain Terry provided safety precautions, showed up where to stow our drinks and gave us the lowdown on our route to the ocean. Once he put the sails up, the wind took us peacefully into deep blue. We saw several dolphins, 2 wild horses on Amelia island, and some pretty birds enjoying the open air. It was a romantic afternoon with my husband. We got to step away from Corona claustrophobia and feel as free as a fish in the sea. Terry even recommended The Salty Pelican, so we have another yelp place to dine in soon! Great boat for taking friends and family out to enjoy Florida's fresh ocean views and get some sun. The weather was kind to us and I only got a little sunburn. Don't forget to ask Terry to play his sailing playlist!

The captain and his wife guided us across the open waters like a man born with a rudder for a spine. The boat was beautiful, the views were breathtaking, and the wind... well, let's just say my hair looked like I lost a fight with a leaf blower. At one point, dolphins swam alongside us, probably just to mock my sunburn. It was majestic. Magical. In short--10/10 would sail again.
