Have you seen this man?  Our own Captain "Pajama Dave"
stole the show on our first, annual Holiday Lighthouse Tour
which occured this past Saturday, December 19th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. 
Guests received a rowdy send off from our very own Fernandina Pirates,
then sailed to the Amelia Lighthouse to the sound of Ray Charles
and other festival holiday tunes.  The wind died down and the water
was a still as glass as we enjoyed the quiet and ambience of Egan's Creek. 
As the sun went down we saw an explosion of color behind us. 
A little further up the creek, guests stared silently at the Lighthouse that
sat beneath a crescent moon.  Thanks again to all the folks
who joined us this year.  We hope you have a bless holiday season
and come back to join us in a bigger and better event in 2010!

Special Events

 

Weddings and other joyous occasions
on our boats. see wedding photos

We always enjoy the opportunity to host a wedding
or other joyous occasions on our boats.
On Saturday, September 26, 2009, we had the
added treat of canine participation in the bridal party
of the Quintero/Holland wedding.

Two Daschunds accompanied the brides maids and a
Chihuhua sported a tux and bow tie to bring the
rings to the bride and groom. As we all clapped at the
introduction of the married couple, each dog
barked their approval in turn.

Please keep us in mind for your special occasion,
be it a wedding, birthday party or other fun day
out on the water. Group reservations can be made by
contacting Lori Hoerl, marketing director,
at 904-491-7617 or via email at lorbell1@aol.com
