Start your day with a breathtaking sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean on our Daytona Beach Sunrise Cruise. Limited to just 10 passengers, this intimate experience begins 75 minutes before sunrise, as we set sail from the Intracoastal Waterway heading south toward Ponce Inlet.
As darkness gives way to vibrant hues of orange, red, and pink, you'll enjoy stunning views of waterfront homes, bridges, and the awakening coastline. We’ll pause at the jetty to watch the sun rise over the ocean, with seagulls and pelicans diving for breakfast around the boat. Keep your eyes peeled for playful dolphins that often join the scene.
During the cruise, indulge in breakfast pastries, mimosas for adults, and juice for those under 21. It’s an unforgettable way to start your day, whether you're a nature lover or simply seeking a peaceful moment on the water.
After the sunrise, we'll cruise back along the river, where dolphin activity tends to increase as they feed. This experience combines natural beauty, wildlife sightings, and a relaxing morning on the Atlantic — perfect for anyone wanting a memorable sunrise adventure in Daytona Beach.
