Why Our Riverfront Cruise Is the Best on the Treasure Coast

Here’s what makes our riverfront experience different:
Private Cruise with a Local Captain
Every riverfront cruise includes Captain Tom, a retired dentist turned full-time boat tour captain with over 40 years of experience on the water. He’ll guide your trip, handle the boat, and make sure your experience is smooth, safe, and totally stress-free.
Intimate Setting – Up to 6 Guests
Our boat comfortably seats up to six people, making this cruise ideal for couples, families, or small groups. You’ll enjoy a personalized experience with plenty of space to stretch out, snap photos, or sip a drink as the scenery drifts by.
Focused on Indian River and Sandbars
Our tours are specifically designed to take you on a scenic journey along the Indian River, where you’ll visit the area’s beautiful sandbars. These sandbars are perfect for swimming, relaxing, or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.
