Sunset Cruise

This evening cruise has been designed specifically to have our guests out on the water during the time of the sunset. This will include a relaxing ride, while looking for dolphins and other area wildlife, to an area of the Cedar Key waters where there is no land obstruction between our boat and the setting sun. Guests are welcome to bring and enjoy their own beverage (adult or otherwise, no coolers permitted) while cruising and taking in the beauty of the setting sun and all the colors that can be on display. There will be some narration at various points, but not the full-length narration as on our daytime Coastal Tours.
