River Lion Excursions

River Lion Excursions with Captain Marcel offers eco-tourism cruises aboard the Argo, a 26-food C-Dory Tomcat power vessel.

This classic boat features an indoor cabin for warmth and comfort, a shallow draft to allow the boat to "dock" on the beach and navigate shallow waters, and a wide beam to provide comfortable cruises. The Argo has been repowered with twin Suzuki 140-horsepower engines, allowing the vessel to move efficiently through the water.

An experienced guide and ecological naturalist, Captain Marcel has worked in Hawaii for the Pacific Whale Foundation and captained large catamarans for snorkeling, diving, and whale watching trips. Captain Marcel has been a kayak guide, first mate, and educational coordinator in Northeast Florida, learning about St. Johns County's animals, sea creatures, and waters.

Red Lion Excursions offers several types of tours for up to six people and a three-hour romantic sunset cruise for two.
