St. Augustine Boat Tours

St. Augustine Boat Tours offers an alternative way to see the nation's oldest city—from the water, starting at Conch House Marina on Anastasia Island. They offer a variety of specialized boat tours that range from St. Augustine's history and major landmarks to ecotours that showcase the environment and natural beauty of the surrounding waters, as well as sunset tours and customized private charters.

St. Augustine Boat Tours' smaller, more intimate tour boats are better able to explore the narrow natural inlets and saltwater rivers of the surrounding waters, giving guests a closer look at the local wildlife, as well as creating a more personal atmosphere for all the tours. 

All tours depart from Conch House Marina on Anastasia Island, in Salt Run inlet. The marina is just a few minutes' drive from the historic district, where you can find free parking and great views of Conch Island. Each trip starts by heading deeper into Salt Run, and you may see several types of birds, dolphins, and other local wildlife.

Captain Sean Crofutt has had five years of experience running charters and area tours. He also has more than 25 years of experience as a firefighter and paramedic.

Dolphin, Wildlife, and History Tour

This tour gives guests a waterfront perspective on the city of St. Augustine, as well as the opportunity to learn more about the wildlife living in and near our rivers and estuaries—including the beautiful dolphins.
