We enthusiastically strive to make your tour an experience rather than just a boat ride. Captain Doug is a historian, a naturalist and an avid birder. We operate Cedar Key's only Coast Guard Inspected Touring Vessel certified to carry more than six passengers. Choose from several distinctly different tours which include virtually all of Cedar Key's natural and historic attractions. This is Florida's premier scenic boat tour.
