Amelia River Cruises, Northeast Florida’s historic and wildlife sightseeing boat tour operator, is accepting reservations for private charters throughout the holiday season. Amelia River Cruises offer a unique venue for office holiday parties and other seasonal events with two vessels offering 49-passenger capacity and a third that can accommodate up to 80 passengers. Private cruises are specifically tailored to each event and catering and entertainment can be arranged, or guests can opt to bring their own food and beverage aboard.

“Thanks to the mild Northeast Florida weather, guests can enjoy a river cruise any time of the year. The holiday season is a great time to show your appreciation for employees, friends and families with a special event aboard one of our cruises,” said Captain Kevin McCarthy, Amelia River Cruises owner. “Our private charters offer flexible options to accommodate parties of all sizes and budgets, and our staff is committed to helping facilitate the perfect event every time.”

Private charters typically depart from the Fernandina Harbor Marina but other arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis. The length of the cruise can vary from one hour to all-day, based on availability, with the option to simply cruise through the waters of Northeast Florida or destination cruises can be arranged to stops including Kingsley Plantation, Fort Caroline, Jekyll Island and St. Augustine.

Amelia River Cruise vessels are U.S. Coast Guard inspected and helmed by U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captains. All vessels are handicap-accessible and pet-friendly with onboard restrooms, shaded canopies and side curtains provided for comfort.
