Experience the magic of dawn on our Sunrise Cruise with a maximum of 10 passengers. We'll set sail in our Sea Ray boat 75 minutes before sunrise and will journey south along the Intracoastal Waterway toward Ponce Inlet and our destination on the Atlantic Ocean. In the serene darkness before dawn, the lights of elegant waterfront homes and bridges will guide our way, giving way to stunning orange hues over the horizon as we approach the Inlet. Once there, we'll follow the jetty for about a mile out into the ocean, pausing to watch the sun rise over the horizon. Enjoy mimosas or juice (under 21) and breakfast pastries as the sky ignites with breathtaking hues of orange, red, and pink. On our return, watch pelicans and seagulls dive for their breakfast and keep an eye out for playful dolphins. If you've never seen the sunrise over the ocean, this will be an unforgettable experience.

Tips, Gratuities
Halifax River
We'll head off before the sunrise and head south down the Intracoastal River. Along the way we'll take in the sights of all lit-up waterfront homes and bridges. As dawn breaks, we'll see the incredible orange glow lifting off the tops of the trees and buildings as the horizon starts to brighten. The dolphins are just waking up and start their feeding around this time, so we'll expect to see them as the day breaks.
Ponce Inlet
Seas permitting, we'll enter the Atlantic Ocean from the Ponce Inlet access and head east along the jetty. At the far end of the jetty, we'll stop and sit to watch the dramatic sunrise over the ocean. Seagulls and pelicans will be looking for their breakfast as they swoop and dive around the boat. We'll spend 15 - 20 minutes here with Mimosas for the adults and juice for those under 21 along with breakfast pastries for all

Caption very nice and informative! It was only my sister and I on the boat and we had a great time! It was beautiful and the ride was very nice a little chilly but to be expected. Had blankets for us. Would recommend this ride!

Capt Eric was absolutely wonderful from the time I booked the Sunrise Cruise until we docked at the conclusion of our experience. He reached out via text soon after we booked and maintained contact with updated info about weather conditions to ensure we had the best possible experience. We agreed to move our cruise to a day earlier and we were so glad he suggested that. Capt Eric goes out of his way to accommodate his clients and always looks out for their interests and needs. While boating to and from the Sunrise viewing location Eric gives color commentary on the noteworthy sites and local area attractions. The breakfast muffins were delicious and toasting with the mimosas at sunrise was such a fantastic way to celebrate our 39th Wedding anniversary! He took pics at significant times throughout our cruise and sent them to us afterwards. Capt Eric is the Best! We will definitely connect with him next time we’re in Daytona Beach for another cruise, or maybe repeat the Sunrise Cruise next year!
