Foggy Night of Lights
Chris and Rose Ann were super hosts and well-prepared at navigating the catamaran when the dense fog rolled in! The vessel was very comfortable, clean and safe. Would go out with them again.
Response from the operator: We are overjoyed to hear Chris and Rose Ann provided excellent service during the foggy Night of Lights tour. We look forward to seeing you on the water again.

Unforgettable Night of Lights Sailboat Cruise
The Night of Lights sailboat cruise was absolutely amazing for me, my husband, my son, and his girlfriend. We were able to capture incredible pictures of the cross and the Bridge of Lions, which made the experience even more special. The weather was perfect, the crew on the sailboat was fantastic, and the other family on board was cheerful, fun, and truly awesome to share such a memorable night with.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback! So glad your family enjoyed the Night of Lights cruise and captured incredible pictures. Memorable experiences like yours make our work meaningful.

The best tour out there!
My partner and I had the best time with Captain Dale! He was so knowledgeable in many things and is a great storyteller! The view from his boat is incredible and much better than any other tours I’ve experienced here, and we’ve visited during the Night of Lights going on 4 years now! We would definitely love to go on it again in the future!
Response from the operator: We are delighted to hear Captain Dale provided an incredible experience! Your kind words about our knowledgeable storytelling and superior views mean everything.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nights of Lights Sailboat Tour at St Augustine Sailing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Augustine.
How much does Nights of Lights Sailboat Tour at St Augustine Sailing cost?
+
Prices start at $129 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in St Augustine usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nights of Lights Sailboat Tour at St Augustine Sailing take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in St Augustine is not rushed.
Is Nights of Lights Sailboat Tour at St Augustine Sailing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in St Augustine, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nights of Lights Sailboat Tour at St Augustine Sailing?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Nights of Lights Sailboat Tour at St Augustine Sailing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nights of Lights Sailboat Tour at St Augustine Sailing?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in St Augustine can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in St Augustine and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nights of Lights Sailboat Tour at St Augustine Sailing start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central St Augustine within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in St Augustine?
+
St Augustine is walkable history: Castillo de San Marcos, Spanish quarter walking tours, trolley loops, lighthouse climbs and some of the best-attended ghost tours in the country. Guide storytelling quality is the main variable. On Outty we rank every St Augustine experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Medieval Torture Museum with Ghost Hunting and Tiny Art Gallery, St. Augustine's Wine, Cocktail and Food Experience, Dolphin and Wildlife Adventure of St. Augustine. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit St Augustine?
+
February to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in St Augustine?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
