Captain Elio - 1st City Family Voyages 

We celebrated my husband's 63rd birthday after 1 month of relocating to the area and what a Wonderful Way to enjoy it.   Captain Elio made sure my husband had the right music and we received the full experience of seeing the beauty of St Augustine, its historical landmarks from the water and learning some of its history.  We even got an extra bonus ..Seeing the dolphins!  Will definitely refer Captain Elio to all we meet here and all of my DMV friends visiting the area.

“Best Day Ever”

3 Hr – St. Augustine Private Island on July 27, 2026 • 6 adults

Captain Dan was amazing and to quote my 4 year son “best boat day ever!” The boat was nice and had extra shade. Entertaining 4 kids aging from 4 to 13 years old can be challenging but Captain Dan did an amazing job. He took us fishing, boat riding in the ocean, tought us some local history and ghost stories, let us relax on his tubes in the water, and docked us for an amazing lunch over the water. Highly recommend this trip!

Perfect sunset on the water!

2 Hr – St. Augustine Sunset on March 6, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain Dan made our sunset cruise the most perfect night and we will definitely book with him again. From his pre-trip communication to the immaculate condition of his boat, he toured us around St. Augustine and was very knowledgeable of the area. Highly recommend booking this private tour with Captain Dan.

Captain Dan was cordial, friendly, and warmhearted. He explained everything about our trip and what to expect. And to top off this great experience, he had information and jokes about the surrounding area.  I extend a sincere thank you for making this a sensational experience.
