Sunset cruise Kings Bay - The Captain shared facts and the area as he drove us are the bay. Our riders were low key which I loved because it let us enjoy the natural environment without distractions. We finally found a manatee and she had a newborn which was extra special. He also steered us by some newborn osprey at sunset. If you like a quiet evening on the water this is a good way.

Fantastic experience - My wife and I chose this cruise for the view. Our Captain was Glenn & he was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the location. The boat was comfortable and we proceeded at a pleasant speed around King's Bay. The sunset was spectacular and we even got up-close to a family of osprey. Would do this cruise again when in the area.
