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.
