Good tour - This was a fun trip! What seemed like a quite jaunt around the bay (it really wasn't, it just felt like time flew by). Good views for pics on a great night. Worth it!

The Best Tour Ever - The two crew members were awesome. Friendly and informative. Perfect timing bc we saw St Augustine by day and night. Tour was just long enough. Hot chocolate and cookies were delicious. Highly recommend. Price was well worth it. Economical.

Exceptional Service, Spotless Room, Perfect Location – We’ll Be Back! - We had an outstanding experience with the Nights of Lights – Sunset Cruise (5:15 trip) and would absolutely do it again. From the beginning, the team was fantastic. I originally booked the wrong sailing (I didn’t realize one of the later trips was adults-only), and the staff could not have been more helpful or patient. They quickly worked with us to rebook to an earlier, family-friendly time — and made the entire process easy and stress-free. The cruise itself was terrific. The boat was comfortable, the views were incredible, and the crew was clearly experienced, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. They shared great insights about the area while still giving us time to just relax and enjoy the scenery. Our kids especially loved the extras — warm cookies, hot chocolate, and the fun atmosphere on board. Those little touches really made the evening special. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip — a great value, wonderfully run, and truly memorable. Highly recommend.

Red Boat Tours is the perfect nights of light tour - Despite rain at the dock, the weather cleared and we had a perfect cruise. There were dolphins. There was a lighthouse. There were churches. There were all of the white lights along the St. Augustine town. The captain had great banter perfect dad jokes just the right amount. TJ, the first mate mate did a great job drying off the seats serving cocoa and cookies and those 3D glasses making the lights turn into reindeer. The boat was not full which was a upside for the passengers and the guests on board were very friendly and there was lots of great camaraderie. My only comment would be that there was no light on the floating dock and the ramp to the pier when exiting and that's a little scary for someone with the mobility issue.

Amazing sunset tour w/Nights of Lights - We had an awesome time! We got to see a beautiful sunset and enjoy the festive holiday lights across the bayfront. Would definitely recommend this tour. An added bonus was missing all of the traffic in town!

The Best Way and Best Tour Company to see the St Augustine Nights of Lights - Bar none, this is the absolute best boat tour company and the best way to see the nights of lights. We made our reservations the same day over the phone and were told about the restaurant next door if we wanted to eat before the 5:00 sailing. So around 3:30 we headed off to Beaches at Vilano for a delicious late lunch/early dinner. We even got 10% off because we were booked for a boat tour. We especially liked their location and free no hassle parking.
