Informative Fun Tour!
My wife and I very much enjoyed this tour. The boat was new and very clean. Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable about local history, she had a great story to tell. And best of all we saw dolphins, lots of them! The only critique i have is that they played music while our guide was talking, it was distracting. Also, the volume on the guides speaker was barely audible at first, think we missed some of what she said because we couldn't hear. Still, a great experience. Highly recommended!

Family time on the water watching dolphins
Had such a great time with family today!! It was so easy to park near the marina (near the Conch House). Just walked out and stepped right on the boat. The crew is a family so that made us feel welcome and comfortable. Definitely returning for a night of lights ride! Thank you!! PS, thanks for your patience with my 22-month old grandson who couldn’t keep still. Dean

Great accessible tour for the whole family!
Cody and Diane were excellent guides! The coquina queen was a really clean and comfortable boat, equipped with free waters and a bathroom on board. The marina was clean and had plenty of parking. Looked like a great place to visit for dinner! I’m so glad we chose this tour! The water view allowed us to get the “lay of the land” of st. Augustine and Anastasia island better. Diane was very knowledgeable of the wildlife, and Cody did a great job navigating amidst some intermittent rain. We saw a pod of dolphins up close feeding. It was great!
