Northeast · Fernandina Beach
Private cruises on a Lagoon 410 catamaran from Amelia Island Marina, past Fort Clinch and the wild horses of Cumberland Island. Three-hour sunset sails and longer sightseeing runs, plus overnights to St. Marys and Jekyll, and to St. Simons and St. Augustine on request.
Follow That Dream is a 2003 Lagoon 410 S2, 41 feet long on a 24-foot beam, which is a stable platform and enough deck for a group to spread out with food and drink. She works out of Amelia Island Marina on Creekside Drive, and the short trip is a three-hour sunset cruise up toward Cumberland Island and Fort Clinch: dolphins, shorebirds, the wild horses on Cumberland, the downtown Fernandina docks and, as the operator points out to guests, the Pippi Longstocking house.
The rest of the schedule runs longer. A sightseeing cruise goes three to five hours, and the overnight products are a 24-hour trip and, on request, a three-day run up to St. Simons Island and a four-day passage south to St. Augustine, working the sounds and rivers of the Georgia and north Florida coast. The company is a member of the Nassau County Chamber, keeps a page of completed and upcoming international charters it has run away from Florida, and books online with live availability.
