The pours are just the right size, not too little and not too much. You have enough time to finish it before the next one is served, without feeling rushed. You also get a little charcuterie cone that is a nice compliment to the wine. There is also the option to pre-order a larger charcuterie box. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and the scenery on the tour is great. We saw so many dolphins! The boat is spacious and not crowded, so it is easy to move about if you want to get up and walk around. This was the highlight of our St. Augustine trip.

Despite the booking saying arrive 15 minutes early or miss the boat, people still showed up after the time, and got on. We left around noon with approximately 10 people on board. We drove out to the inlet, and a bunch of dolphins were seen playing in the water. There was a bunch, we stopped and watched them form about 10-15 minutes, playing, splashing, jumping up catching fish. It was a good experience. We toured around for a little bit, seeing the old fort, hearing history of the city. The guides recommended restaurants near the water front, and returned to the dock. The tour lasted about a hour, in which we learned some history, saw dolphins, different birds, a few beaches, and a nice boat ride. For 2 adults it was $64, the tour guides were friendly, funny, and informative.

We all had an amazing time. Zach is very passionate about the preservation of this beautiful area and all the wildlife that lives here. He's incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer any and all questions... even the ridiculous ones...lol. He interacted so well with our two daughters who are 4 and 10, but was sure to engage with everyone on the boat so we all got a personalized experience. We saw so many dolphins and birds (the spoon bills were a special treat for us) which was our main objective. The boat itself was very comfortable and they were happy to accommodate our boat with an extra shade to keep my Mom more shielded from the sun. He also offered to take us out a hour earlier than the advertised time of 11 a.m. so that we could try to beat the heat, again to accommodate the older guests on the boat. Our girls had the best time taking their turns driving the boat and he even treated them to shark teeth after the trip because he heard us talking about shark teeth hunting and we had asked him about secret spots to look for them. Captain Zach is just an easy going guy with a lot of passion and expertise that he loves to share. Having that kind of person as our tour guide really made the experience for us. Overall just a fantastic time. Worth every penny to get a private tour. 10/10 experience!

A Truly Unforgettable St. Augustine Sunset Dinner Cruise!…read more We were thrilled to experience St. Augustine Sailing's incredible 3-hour Sunset Dinner Cruise! The night was magical, with gorgeous views of the bay, playful dolphins, and the absolute highlight--a five-course dinner by the talented @ChefWesleyNogueira from @khloeskitchen. Each course was a delight, from the artisanal charcuterie platter to spiced chicken meatballs with cranberry chutney, squid in tomato sauce, a perfectly cooked steak with mushrooms and ravioli, and a chocolate cake topped with Ferrero Rocher. Every bite was exquisite, and the sunset-lit waters of St. Augustine added a perfect touch of serenity. If you're celebrating a special occasion or just want an extraordinary evening, I highly recommend this cruise! A blend of fine dining, scenic beauty, and peaceful moments on the water--this experience is truly a must-do.

My instructor, Nuri, was not only highly knowledgeable but also made the learning process enjoyable. He explained the techniques in a clear and accessible way, even for a complete beginner like me. Nuri's expertise and teaching style made everything feel within reach, and I quickly gained the confidence I needed to learn. Feeling inspired, I joined Women on the Water to continue my sailing journey. After years of waiting to learn how to sail, I'm excited to be on this path. Though I still have a lot to learn, I'm thrilled that St. Augustine Sailing offers so many courses to help me improve and eventually become a skilled sailor. I highly recommend this sailing class to anyone, whether you're just starting or looking to sharpen your skills. I can't wait to get back out on the water!
