Overview

Nights of Lights Holiday Boat Cruise — our Florida version of a sleigh ride. Cruise the St. Augustine waterfront with family and friends and see the seasonal lights from the water. Choose the earlier Twilight option for a sunset-time departure or a later option for after-dark lights. Sky color and display timing vary by date and conditions. Festive carols play on select cruises. Bring a favorite beverage if you like. Depart from Vilano Beach Public Pier, north of downtown St. Augustine. Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes before departure to board; the boat leaves on time.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Adventure Boat Tours – Nights of Lights by Water in St. Augustine FL?

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
