About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Dan for an unforgettable private boat tour through the scenic waterways of Jacksonville, Florida! With space for just six passengers, this trip is all about comfort, personalization, and soaking up the best of the river life without the crowds. Whether you're looking to kick back with family, celebrate a milestone, or just enjoy a beautiful day on the water, Captain Dan's got you covered.

This daytime or sunset cruise is the perfect way to explore Jacksonville from a whole new perspective. Over the course of two hours, you’ll glide along the St. Johns River with plenty of opportunities to spot playful dolphins, native birds, and all kinds of local wildlife. From the sleek yachts in the marina to the vibrant murals of Downtown Jacksonville, every stop along the way tells its own story. Cruise past the Jacksonville Jaguars Stadium and the historic USS Orleck, or slow it down and enjoy a sandbar stop where you can float in a tube, snack, and take in the views.

Captain Dan is all about making the experience feel personal. That means customizing the tour route, sharing insider stories, and making younger guests feel especially welcome. If you've got little ones aboard, Captain Dan loves to entertain them with fun, family-friendly tales about the local area. Planning to pop the question? Celebrating an anniversary or baby on the way? Let him know—he’s happy to help you make the moment unforgettable.

Each tour includes complimentary bottled water, soda, and light snacks so you can stay refreshed while you explore. You're welcome to bring additional food or drinks aboard if you'd like, and yes—pets are welcome too! Just keep in mind that infants must sit on your lap during the cruise.

Your safety is Captain Dan’s top priority. While every effort is made to deliver the full experience, he reserves the right to adjust the route or duration in case of weather or other safety concerns.

So if you're ready for a laid-back, family-friendly adventure filled with wildlife sightings, riverfront sights, and lasting memories—book your private tour with Captain Dan and experience Jacksonville like never before!
