What sets St Augustine Sailing apart from other Nights of Lights boat tours is the elevated experience aboard a luxury sailing yacht. While many tours offer a simple ride, St Augustine Sailing provides an intimate, serene setting that allows guests to fully immerse in the beauty of the holiday lights without the crowds or noise of typical boat tours. Our yachts offer a more personalized, relaxed atmosphere with comfortable seating, and the option to book private charters.
You’ll also be guided by experienced USCG captains who know the waters and the best vantage points to view the city’s spectacular light display. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or seeking a peaceful, romantic evening, our tailored sailing experience ensures you enjoy the Nights of Lights in comfort and style.

Chris and Rose Ann were super hosts and well-prepared at navigating the catamaran when the dense fog rolled in! The vessel was very comfortable, clean and safe. Would go out with them again.

The Night of Lights sailboat cruise was absolutely amazing for me, my husband, my son, and his girlfriend. We were able to capture incredible pictures of the cross and the Bridge of Lions, which made the experience even more special. The weather was perfect, the crew on the sailboat was fantastic, and the other family on board was cheerful, fun, and truly awesome to share such a memorable night with.

My partner and I had the best time with Captain Dale! He was so knowledgeable in many things and is a great storyteller! The view from his boat is incredible and much better than any other tours I’ve experienced here, and we’ve visited during the Night of Lights going on 4 years now! We would definitely love to go on it again in the future!

A great and comfortable sailing. I would recommend it although it overpriced. It would be nice if they had on board bar and snacks. Otherwise it is very nice tour which I would highly recommend.

Beyond all expectations! Dale Edgar is an absolute professional sailboat captain! He even shared his intriguing information about pelican behavior! I think he even cued the full moon to highlight the evening!

Really great experience. The catamaran is spacious and very comfortable. The captain and mate were very helpful and kind, as well as the ladies in the front office. Looking forward to returning.
