And I wasn't wrong! The tour lasted about 90 minutes (and it leaves promptly FYI) and takes you along the shoreline of Amelia Island - past the shrimping boats and past a Civil War era fort - before heading towards Cumberland Island National Seashore. This is where the true fun of the tour was for me. I had no idea really the history of the island and found it fascinating how the Carnegies and Rockefellers and more of the country's elite used this random Georgia seashore as their private escape. The history of both Cumberland and Amelia Islands is incredibly fascinating and the guides for both the Florida and Georgia sides respectively were well informed and personable. Plus - you'll very likely see a ton of great wildlife throughout including dolphins and wild horses and pigs. It's a great way to spend an afternoon in the area and a fabulous introduction to Cumberland Island National Seashore/Park.

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.

We caught whiting, pompano, jacks, sharks, and even a few stingrays! We had our two children with us and they were wonderfully patient and answered what felt like thousands of questions! After the trip, Jimmy filleted out the twenty or so keepers and we feasted on fresh fish the next night. We look forward to fishing with them again next summer when we are back on Amelia Island.

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!
