Sunset & Nights of Lights Cruise

Sail into sunset & see the city sparkle

Experience the best of both worlds with our Sunset & Nights of Lights Cruise aboard the Island Breeze. This cozy, fully covered boat tour begins with breathtaking views of the sun setting over Matanzas Bay, and smoothly transitions into a glowing waterfront journey as St. Augustine’s Nights of Lights comes to life.

Once the sun dips below the horizon, millions of twinkling white lights illuminate the city, creating a magical holiday atmosphere you’ll never forget.

Your experience includes complimentary hot cocoa, 3D glasses to enhance the lights, and a relaxing seat on our climate-friendly, 24-passenger vessel with a restroom onboard. Seasonal snacks like Graze Boxes are available to pre-order.
