5.00Super fun adventure on the water! A perfect mix of local history, dolphin sightings, and the pure joy of cruising across the waves. You might get a little splash of saltwater and the ride can be a bit bumpy at times, but that’s part of the thrill. If you’re looking for a memorable way to spend time on the water, this is absolutely it.
A Must Do, if you LOVE the water!

5.00What a great way to see the see the sights and learn about the area! ! My husband and I had so much fun on the CraigCat Boat Tour!!! I loved being so close to the water. I felt like I could almost reach out and touch the dolphins, as they swam by. Our guide, Kyle, I believe, had a great personality, too, and was super informative. Just be prepared to get wet...because you will.

5.00Bring dry clothes in the car. Other than that, it was great. All the way up to Dungeness ruins on Cumberland Island, great guide, wild horses cooperated. Dolphins were shy.
Fun and informative tour!!

5.00We had a great tour with Kyle! It was too cold for the CraigCat boat tour so we were offered a private boat tour! Kyle was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and ecology of the area. We saw lots of wildlife including dolphin, horses, sea birds, and a sea turtle! We had a blast. You will not regret booking this tour! Thanks Kyle!!

5.00I flew my mom to Amelia Island for her 65th birthday - Upon looking for new and exciting adventures to do with my mom I came across CraigCat Boat Tours by Riptide Watersports. When I tell you to book it. Book it. I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. Zach, our tour guide, was beyond amazing. He explained everything so well and made sure we were comfortable before we left the dock. Going to Cumberland Island, seeing Pippy's House - I couldn't tell you my favorite part. We will 110% be coming back and when we do, we will ask for Zach. He won our hearts!
