Florida Water Tours: Nights of Lights Tours

Nights of Lights Cruises with Florida Water Tours

Florida Water Tours offers family-friendly and adults-only cruises during Nights of Lights on the 45-foot Osprey, which has a bar on board, and the 35-foot Island Breeze, which is BYOB.

The vessels have windows that can open and shut, so on colder evenings they can be lowered for extra warmth. If it's chilly, dress warmly and bring blankets. You can purchase blankets, souvenirs, snacks, and beverages in Florida Water Tours' boutique shop.

You can cruise aboard any of the three boats for a sunset/Nights of Lights cruise or for a Nights of Lights cruise later in the evening. All their guided trips include 3-D glasses, a cup of hot cocoa, and holiday music.

Please arrive 15 minutes before departure to check in and hear the captain's mandatory safety briefing.
