Florida Water Warriors offers equitable access to marine science-based cruises where students of all ages and backgrounds go out onto the water to conduct water testing, plankton sampling, wildlife logging and more! We believe that hands-on education is the best way to learn so the students will take away theory, practical skills, and a deeper connection with our environment.

What our customers are saying about us
The Sunset Cruise in St. Augustine was great! The boat ride was relaxing and informative. Kevin, the co-pilot / narrator was witty and knowledgeable. Made the trip light and fun. The scenery was beautiful and included sightings of Dolphins,Terns & Pelicans. Sunset was nice too.
– Tim B. | TripAdvisor
Kevin really made the tour fun while also being very informative. Good selection of beer and wine on board and the ride was smooth. It was a really good time and well worth the money. On top of that we were thrilled to hear that the company also gives free tours to schools which we support 100%. Great company, great tour, great time.
– Nick M. | TripAdvisor
The sunset cruise was a lot of fun while also informative. Kevin was our tour guide and he was great...he and the captain, Mike, gave us the perfect introduction to St. Augustine! I would highly recommend this tour. Oh, and we saw dolphins and a stingray jumped out of the water right next to our boat! That was such a thrill!

Personable staff, beautiful scenery, great tour! We really enjoyed ourselves - having a drink, listening to the crew talk about St A, snapping pics as the sun slowly set over the historic downtown. Can’t believe we hadn’t done this before & will definitely take one of their other tours next time we’re in town.
