Planning a birthday, anniversary or reunion? Is your group eager to learn more about the Indian River Lagoon while cruising on your own private charter? Or we can arrange Dock & Dine excursions transporting your group to some of our local waterfront restaurants.

Charters can be arranged on most days, but we urge you to book well in advance. Seating is limited to 36 passengers but could be less if a musician and/or serving table is required. All tours start from the Marine Discovery Center in New Smyrna Beach. A deposit of 50% is required at the time of booking. All of our vessels are United States Coast Guard inspected.
