About St. Augustine Scenic Cruise

The Usina family are descendants of some of the earliest Minorcan settlers in St. Augustine. They have operated a tour boat in St. Augustine since the 1900s, when Henry Flagler asked Captain Frank Usina and his wife Catherine to host oyster roasts on North Beach. Flagler wanted an outing for his hotel guests, so Captain Usina transported them to North Beach for dinners, dancing, and sightseeing. Now, the family owns and operates Aunt Kate's Restaurant in Vilano Beach and the Victory III.
