It's the perfect way to soak in all the local flavor without breaking a sweat.

Trip Rundown

Picture this: You're kicking back on a comfy boat, cold drink in hand, as we cruise past million-dollar homes and pristine nature preserves. Our seasoned local guides know all the best spots and will fill you in on Stuart's colorful history - from its early days as a pineapple farming hub to its current status as the "Sailfish Capital of the World." We'll point out landmarks you'd never spot from land and share quirky stories that'll give you major local cred. This trip is perfect for everyone from families looking for a fun day out to couples wanting a romantic sunset cruise. And don't forget your camera - you'll want to snap pics of the pelicans diving for fish and the sun glinting off the water.

On the Water

Our boat is set up for maximum comfort and sightseeing potential. We've got plenty of shaded seating, but there's also space to soak up some rays if that's your thing. The waters around Stuart are usually pretty calm, so seasickness isn't typically an issue. As we putter along, keep your eyes peeled for manatees lazily munching on seagrass or ospreys swooping down to catch their lunch. We'll cruise by some of Stuart's most iconic spots like the Roosevelt Bridge and the House of Refuge Museum. Don't be shy about asking questions - our guides love sharing local knowledge and pointing out cool stuff you might miss.

Why Folks Keep Coming Back

Many of our guests tell us this tour was the highlight of their Florida vacation - way more fun and relaxing than battling crowds at theme parks or big cities.

Local Wildlife Lowdown

While we're not focused on fishing on this trip, Stuart's waters are teeming with marine life. Keep your eyes peeled for Atlantic bottlenose dolphins - they love to play in our wake and show off for the boat. Manatees are another local favorite, and we often spot these gentle giants munching on seagrass in the shallows. Bird watchers, get ready to add some species to your life list! We regularly see pelicans, herons, egrets, and even the occasional bald eagle soaring overhead.

In the waters below, you might catch glimpses of snook, tarpon, and maybe even a sea turtle if we're lucky. Spring and fall are especially great times for wildlife spotting, as many species are migrating through the area. Our guides are pros at pointing out wildlife without disturbing them, so you'll get great views while respecting nature.
