A South-to-North Cruise of the ICW from Titusville to St. Augustine, Florida - Collaboration with Coastal Living Magazine

 

This sunny segment of the Atlantic ICW is an all-Florida cruise that begins on the Space Coast - home to Cape Canaveral- and makes its way north to the beautiful and historic city of St. Augustine, the oldest continuously occupied city in the country. Along the way discover the laid-back surf town of New Smyrna Beach, hit the road for a break at Daytona, and enjoy the old-style fun of Flagler Beach.

Arts and Eats

New Smyrna Beach, Florida

Time to Play

Flagler Beach, Florida

Take the day off (the water)! Six miles of uncrowded beaches, great fishing spots (including the Flagler Beach Municipal Pier), fun shops, and oceanfront restaurants make Flagler Beach, which has been billed as "a retro town with a salty style," well worth the shore leave.

Have cocktails on the boat and then dinner at Columbia Restaurant, a gorgeous Spanish-Cuban restaurant in this historic port city.
