About this tour
Nights of Lights Holiday Boat Cruise - The Florida Version of a Sleigh Ride
Make this season unforgettable with a Nights of Lights cruise — a holiday tradition that brings your whole crew together. It’s our Florida version of a sleigh ride, with sparkling lights, festive carols on select cruises, and stories from the water that make the city’s history come alive.
Invite family and friends, bring your favorite beverage if you’d like, and call it your holiday party — without all the work.
The boat departs from the Vilano Beach Public Pier, just north of downtown St. Augustine, out of the big crowds, with free convenient parking.
Create holiday memories with family and friends that will last a lifetime.
Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes prior to departure to make it for boarding on the boat. The boat departs from the dock promptly on time.

Red Boat Tours - World Famous St Augustine Nights of Lights
St Augustine, Florida
4.8 · 310 reviews on Viator
National Geographic has selected The Ancient City, one of the top-10 places in the world to see Christmas lights, for over a decade! Each year, more lights are added and the Nights of Lights Festival becomes more and more popular. Why struggle, maybe for hours, to find a place to park and then walk to see just a few blocks of lights? Step aboard Pellicano and let us take you downtown, like you've never been downtown! The reflections on the water appear to double the number of lights in the city, while the fresh night air in the bay makes some of the best restaurants on the east coast, smell even better!
