See wild Atlantic bottlenose dolphins up close as you cruise the scenic waters of St. Augustine on a relaxing 90-minute tour. Our experienced captains know where to find these incredible animals, and most trips encounter dolphins along the way.

Tours depart from the Vilano Beach Fishing Pier. Look for the BIG BLUE DUCK STATUE, walk half way down the pier to the ramp on the left. PLEASE ARRIVE 30 MINUTES EARLY FOR PARKING AND BOARDING. • This is a public dock and our boat will arrive there approximately 20 minutes before departure time.
Departing from the Vilano Beach Fishing Pier at 260 Vilano Road, Pellicano will cruise south along the Intra-coastal Waterway, to the St Augustine Inlet and Salt Run, then toward downtown St Augustine and all her famous landmarks. From the comfort of your padded, forward facing seat, you'll see and hear about some of the contributions of Henry Flagler, the Bridge of Lions, the Castillo de San Marcos, the Fountain of Youth and the Giant Cross. We cruise only upon the Intra-Coastal waterway, where the water is always relatively calm, and never go out onto the open ocean. While narrated by the crew, the atmosphere is relaxed and conversational, with great music, complimentary water and plenty of time for Q & A.
