Fort McRee & Sand Island Cruise

Fort McRee/Sand Island/Pensacola Bay Cruise

Cruise across beautiful Pensacola Bay to historic Fort McRee and the famous Sand Island on this relaxing and scenic private boat tour. Along the way, we often encounter dolphins swimming, feeding, and playing in their natural habitat-one of the highlights of the trip. We will stop at Sand Island where you can get off the boat, walk the sandbars, swim in the shallow clear water, collect shells or just relax and enjoy the incredible views of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. This area is only accessible by boat, making it one of the most unique spots in the Pensacola area.

This is a private trip for up to 6 passengers, so your group will have the boat all to yourselves-no crowds, no rush, just a laid-back day on the water.

Practical details/Items to bring:

  • Swimwear/comfortable clothing
  • Sunglasses
  • Sunscreen
  • Camera or phone for photos
  • Light snacks and drinks (we will provide a medium cooler with ice and water)
  • Alcohol is permitted for guests 21 and over. Zero tolerance for underage consumption of alcohol.
