Overview

See wild Atlantic bottlenose dolphins up close as you cruise the scenic waters of St. Augustine on a relaxing 90-minute tour. Our experienced captains know where to find these incredible animals, and most trips encounter dolphins along the way.

Step aboard the custom-built Pellicano with Red Boat Tours and enjoy a smooth, comfortable ride with plush padded seating, complimentary cold water on warm days, and cozy blankets when it’s cool.

Along the way, you may also spot pelicans, osprey, manatees, and sea turtles while taking in views of St. Augustine’s most iconic landmarks. It’s the perfect mix of wildlife, scenery, and laid-back coastal cruising.

Red Boat Tours

Departing from the Vilano Beach Fishing Pier at 260 Vilano Road, Pellicano will cruise south along the Intra-coastal Waterway, to the St Augustine Inlet and Salt Run, then toward downtown St Augustine and all her famous landmarks. From the comfort of your padded, forward facing seat, you'll see and hear about some of the contributions of Henry Flagler, the Bridge of Lions, the Castillo de San Marcos, the Fountain of Youth and the Giant Cross. We cruise only upon the Intra-Coastal waterway, where the water is always relatively calm, and never go out onto the open ocean. While narrated by the crew, the atmosphere is relaxed and conversational, with great music, complimentary water and plenty of time for Q & A.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Red Boat Tours – Dolphin Odyssey and Sightseeing Tour?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
