Either way, it's the same boat, the same crew, and the same stretch of historic coast. Pick how high you want to go and how long you want to stay up there.
We launch from the City Marina at 111 Avenida Menendez, two blocks from the Castillo and right under the Bridge of Lions. There's metered waterfront street parking or an all-day garage at the visitor center about a mile away. From the air you see Anastasia Island, Vilano Beach, the historic district, and the open Atlantic, all at once. Mornings tend to be the calmest, so book early and beat the afternoon wind.
Fly solo, fly tandem, or take three up at once. Most families pick the triple so the kids can ride with a parent. Minimum age 5; maximum combined weight 450 lbs (your captain calls the safest pairing day-of). Pregnant guests can't fly. No experience required, no swimming required.
We dip you at the end of the flight, so plan to get wet from about the waist down. Wear swimwear and bring a towel. Sunscreen and water recommended.
Professional captain & crew. All safety gear. About an hour and a half on the boat with 8–10 minutes airborne. Photo packages are $45 per group (every flight, every guest). Bring sunscreen and a towel, and leave the big bags in the car.
Everyone who boards the boat must sign a waiver. The link comes in your confirmation email.
St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the continental United States, and the whole of it fits into one flight. Our dock sits in the middle of the historic district, so the coquina walls of the Castillo, the red towers of the Casa Monica, the plaza laid out in 1573 and the Bridge of Lions are all inside the same frame from four hundred feet up. Most guests make a morning of it — fly first, then walk the old town while it's still cool.
“Five stars all around. Smooth and easy booking, exhilarating ride, and we even spotted dolphins from up there.”
“One of the highlights of the whole vacation. The crew was great with our kids and the views were unreal.”
“Must-do activity in St. Augustine. The crew was top notch: smooth, scenic, amazing marine life on the way out.”
Pick a time, pick a height, pick who's flying with you. Most days fill up by mid-morning in summer, so book ahead.
