Amazing staff and a very nice evening cruise to see the nights of lights without all the crowds. Lisa and Kevin were knowledgeable about the area and helpful about tips and tricks of what to do and see. Our teenage son enjoyed the interior cabin while we enjoyed the outdoor seating. It was a nice small group and enjoyable to experience an evening cruise in St. Augustine.

Saint Augustine Sailing made an already special night even more unforgettable. I had planned a Nights of Lights cruise to propose to my girlfriend (now fiancée), and their team went above and beyond to help make everything seamless and stress-free. From the start, the staff was incredibly helpful and patient. When I called to book, Isla answered all of my (many) questions and helped me arrange champagne, cocktails, and treats for the cruise. She even took the time earlier in the day to show me the 35-foot sailboat I’d booked so I could plan out where and how I wanted to propose. The boat was spotless, well-maintained, and perfect for the evening ahead. As the day went on, the winds started to pick up, and I got a call from Isla letting me know the conditions might prevent us from sailing. She laid out all of my options and was so reassuring, which made a stressful situation feel manageable. I decided to hope for the best, and she kept in touch with updates. Just a couple of hours before we were set to leave, I got a text from her asking me to call her. Naturally, I panicked, thinking the worst—but when I called, she had great news. Not only had the winds started to calm, but the team decided to upgrade us to their 40-foot double catamaran at no extra cost to make sure we’d have the best experience possible. I was blown away by their generosity and how much they cared about making the night special. The crew onboard was amazing. The captain and first mate were welcoming and attentive without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance. It was a chilly evening, and they brought us blankets to stay warm. They even offered to take photos during the proposal, which turned out beautifully and captured the moment perfectly. This was a night we’ll always remember, thanks to the team at Saint Augustine Sailing. They truly went the extra mile to make everything feel effortless and special. If you’re considering a sailing experience, I can’t recommend them enough.
