St Augustine Scenic Cruises
One
of the most popular ways to see and learn about
St. Augustine and the historic Old City is to
climb aboard St. Augustine’s famous cruise
vessel, The Victory III. Guided by 3rd and 4th
generation captains from the Usina family, St.
Augustine Scenic Cruises has been operating and
sailing since the early 1900s.
Owned and operated by the Usina family, whose
ancestors came from Minorca, an island in the
Mediterranean just off the coast of Spain where
many of the original settlers of St. Augustine
came from in 1777, the St. Augustine Scenic
Cruise typically begins downtown at the St.
Augustine Municipal Marina. Each cruise takes
you along the Matanzas River, through the
Matanzas Bay and St. Augustine Inlet, and
finally to Salt Run. Running each day except
Christmas Day, the St. Augustine Scenic Cruises
run on a timed schedule, departing four to six
times a day, depending on the season. Each St.
Augustine Scenic Cruise lasts an hour and
fifteen minutes and the company can accept
Discover, Visa and MasterCard.
Be sure to bring your camera along on the St.
Augustine Scenic Cruise as you’ll have a chance
to take pictures and learn about historical
landmarks such as the Bridge of Lions, the St.
Augustine Bayfront, the Castillo de San Marcos,
the Landmark Cross, the St. Augustine
Lighthouse, and Ponce de Leon’s famous Fountain
of Youth.
Bird watchers will delight in seeing the native
birds fly by as they cruise along the bay. On
your St. Augustine Scenic Cruise, you’ll have a
chance to see heron, pelicans, cormorants, and
sea gulls as they fly over the gorgeous palm
trees and abundant oyster beds. Every now and
then, cruisers get a special treat as dolphins
swim alongside the boat and help guide your
journey.
The Victory III St. Augustine Scenic Cruise Ship
is available for charters and large groups, with
group rates offered. Visitors may enjoy the St.
Augustine July 4th Fireworks Cruise aboard the
Victory III or the November opening of the
Nights of Lights, two very special St. Augustine
annual events.
