CraigCat Electric Boat Exploration, Fernandina Beach

Command your own whisper-quiet CraigCat electric catamaran through the scenic waterways around Fernandina Beach — dolphins play in your wake, pelicans wheel overhead, and the salt marshes of Amelia Island unfold around every bend.

What to expect

After a quick orientation, you pilot your own CraigCat alongside a guide through the Intracoastal Waterway and tidal creeks fringing Amelia Island. Bottlenose dolphins regularly bow-ride alongside these low-profile cats; watch for manatees in calmer channels and bald eagles above the marsh. The guide narrates local ecology and history while keeping the group together at a leisurely pace. Private charters let you set the itinerary entirely — sunset departures are spectacular.
