we had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday. It was perfect weather and lots of dolphin. The wine was really good and so was the charcuterie.

Its always a great day to be on a boat! We had a fun day seeing a few of the sights of St Augustine while also trying some interesting wines - which are accompanied by a little snack! Perfect way to spend an afternoon!
We had such a nice time on the wine tasting boat tour with Florida Water Tours! Sipping wine while cruising the beautiful waters was wonderful—and getting to see dolphins and other wildlife made it even more spectacular. Our captain and tour guides were lovely, knowledgeable, and entertaining, with just the right sprinkle of humor. Such a fun and relaxing way to experience St. Augustine! Highly recommend!

Enjoyed our boat cruise! Staff was fun and friendly, we even got to see some dolphins!
Fun trip! Lots of free parking which is rare in St Augustine. They sample 6 different wines on board - 3 white & 3 red. They announce the flavor/varietal, but sometimes forget to tell you the brand. The crew was cordial, funny and well informed about the area. You can expect to see dolphins and osprey during the trip. They play lively music ( standard rock that everyone knows ) and a good time is had by all. Have fun, learn a little about St Augustine, have some wine and relax!
Had an excellent time!! Captain Kevin, Sarah and Brock were an excellent crew. Would highly recommend.
enjoyable little trip, sampled 6 wines. guide was very friendly. also a little charcuterie snack. easy to find and park.
It was a blast! The crew was awesome and the tour was beautiful. We got to see a lot of dolphin's. The crew was very knowledgeable about marine life and answered any questions we had. Great job!
Dress for the weather other than that we had a great time the wine was good and the tour guide was awesome and very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife
