Cruise for a Cause

On Saturday, July 18, 2026, at several times between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., Florida Water Tours donates proceeds from four tours to Florida Water Warriors. Take a fun and informative 90-minute tour and help Florida Water Warriors make sure every child can attend their on-the-water educational experience.

• A 90-minute Dolphin and Wildlife Adventures departing at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 1:00 p.m. (family-friendly cruise)
• An adults-only two-hour Sunset Jazz Cruise aboard the Great Blue Heron.

The Family-Friendly Cruises

During the Dolphin and Wildlife Adventure cruises on July 18, Florida Water Warriors instructors offer hands-on eco-education. In addition to pointing out the area's features, they share information about the history, ecosystems, and importance of protecting the local rivers and estuaries in St. Johns County. The instructors demonstrate the field experiences they offer on a full Water Warriors Cruise.

Sunset River Jazz Cruise

On the Sunset River Jazz Cruise for a Cause, listen to a live jazz performance as you cruise aboard the Great Blue Heron, enjoying the sunset. The boat's relaxed elegance provides the perfect venue for enjoying gourmet bites, adult beverages, or soft drinks, while supporting a good cause.

There will be a silent auction aboard. All proceeds from the cruise and auction will be donated to Florida Water Warriors 501(c)3, helping the organization provide marine science education and conservation programs for local students.
