Book private Fernandina Beach boat tours on a sailboat or sailing catamaran, with a licensed captain on every trip. Sail the Amelia River toward Fort Clinch and Cumberland Sound, with clear prices for every trip length.
Our Fernandina Beach boat tours leave from historic downtown and sail the Amelia River toward Fort Clinch and Cumberland Sound, where the Amelia River meets the St. Marys River. Every trip is a private sail with a USCG-licensed captain who will teach you to steer and trim the sails if you want.
Dolphins are common on the Amelia River, pelicans follow the shrimp boats, and on longer sails you can see the old brick walls of Fort Clinch State Park and the shoreline of Cumberland Island across the sound. Wildlife is never guaranteed, but it rarely disappoints.
No. Your captain sails the boat. You are welcome to help steer and trim the sails if you want to learn.
What if there is no wind?
Light wind still makes for a lovely cruise, and the sailboat has an engine as a backup. If conditions are unsafe, your captain will reschedule or refund your trip.
What is the best time for a Fernandina Beach boat tour?
Sunset sails are the most popular. A 3 or 4 hour sail gives you time to reach Fort Clinch and Cumberland Sound.
How many people can come?
Up to 6 guests on the 33 ft sailboat or the 37 ft sailing catamaran, or 1 to 2 guests on the romantic sail for two.
