Sunset Boat Tours

Evening Airboat Tours Through North Florida's Most Scenic Waterways

Southern Airboat Charters and Tours offers sunset boat tours timed for golden hour. Our evening tours focus on the experience more than wildlife spotting. The pace is slower. The light is incredible. And the whole atmosphere changes as the sun goes down over the water.

We run sunset tours through St. Marks coastal waters and Lake Jackson and Wakulla River. The views are stunning and the wildlife behaves differently in the evening. Birds come back to roost. Fish jump as they feed before dark. Guests have spotted dolphins during sunset runs near St. Marks.

Sunset tours are priced by the hour starting at $60. Most guests book 60 to 90 minutes which gives plenty of time to find a good spot and watch the full sunset. Longer tours available if you want more time on the water.

We serve guests from Tallahassee FL and Thomasville GA and St. Marks and Apalachicola and Alligator Point. Sunset tours book up fast especially on weekends so plan ahead.

Good to Know:

Best Conditions for Sunset Tours

Sunset tours depend on weather and visibility more than daytime tours. Clear skies give you classic orange and pink sunsets. Partly cloudy evenings can be even more dramatic with light breaking through the clouds. We monitor conditions and will suggest rescheduling if visibility is poor.

What Makes Sunset Tours Special

Why Guests Book Evening Tours

Golden Hour Light

Photographers know golden hour is magic. The light gets soft and warm and everything looks better. Your photos will be stunning without any filters or editing. The water reflects the sky and the colors change every few minutes.

Different Wildlife Behavior

Evening brings out different activity. Birds fly back to their roosts in big groups. Fish jump as they feed before dark. Gators move into shallower water. Dolphins feed in the coastal areas around St. Marks.

Cooler Temperatures

Florida afternoons can be brutal especially in summer. Sunset tours start later when the heat breaks. The breeze on the water makes it comfortable. Much more enjoyable than sweating through a midday tour in July.

Romantic Atmosphere

Sunset tours are popular with couples. The setting is naturally romantic without being over the top. Great for anniversaries and date nights and proposals. Some guests book sunset tours specifically for special moments.
