A downtown Jacksonville boat charter with skyline views

Our 30-foot cruiser is built for a downtown Jacksonville boat charter on the St. Johns River. It carries up to 10 guests with a USCG-licensed captain at the helm. Along the way, you get some of the best views of the city skyline and its bridges. After all, Jacksonville is known as the River City, and Visit Jacksonville has more to explore downtown.

The cockpit has curved lounge seating for the ride. Below deck, there is a cabin with a dinette, a galley, a mid-cabin berth and an enclosed head. That makes longer cruises comfortable, even with a full group.

Please note: the cruiser is temporarily out of service for scheduled maintenance, so online booking is paused. Call us at (904) 595-9196 to hold a date, or browse the boats you can book now.
