PORT CANAVERAL ADVENTURES

Port Canaveral Boat Tours & Charters

Skip the crowded tour boats and experience Port Canaveral from the water with just 6 passengers or fewer. Cruise alongside massive ships, keep an eye out for dolphins and other local wildlife, and enjoy a relaxed, personal boat tour along Florida’s Space Coast.

MAX 6 GUESTS

The Small-Group Difference

Big tour boats mean rows of bench seats and a narration over a microphone. We cap every trip at 6 guests, so everyone gets a view and a voice.

Max 6 Guests

A small group, never a packed deck.

Every Seat Has a View

No rows of benches where only the rail seats can see the water.

Talk With Your Captain

Ask questions, point out what you spot, and help steer the trip in real time.

Drinks + Cooler With Ice

Complimentary bottled water onboard. Bring your own snacks and drinks (no glass), and we’ll provide a cooler with ice.

PORT CANAVERAL ADVENTURES

Dolphin Tours & More in the Port

There is so much to see in Port Canaveral you’ll wish you found this tour earlier. With no more than 6 guests on board, everyone has a clear view of the water, and you can ask your captain questions and point out what you want to see as it happens. Unlike river tours, our deep water port access draws in direct sea life and offers unobstructed Space Center and Rocket Launch Views. We can cruise by the US Navy Trident Basin to see if a submarine is in for service or we might get lucky and see a SpaceX booster returning home on the barge. If your booked tour is during a rocket launch, we can position the boat so you can watch it take off directly from the launch pad.

PREPARE FOR THE ADVENTURE

Prep for Your Port Tour Enjoyment

To make the most of your Port Canaveral tour, we recommend packing these boating essentials.

Sun Protection

The Florida sun is intense. Bring reef-safe sunscreen (SPF 30+) to protect your skin and ocean wildlife.

Sunglasses

Polarized sunglasses are highly recommended to cut through water glare and help spot marine life.

Snacks & Drinks

Complimentary bottled water is provided onboard. Feel free to bring your own snacks and beverages to enjoy during the trip. No glass containers, please. A cooler with ice is provided onboard.

Camera or Phone

From playful dolphins to magnificent rocket launches, you will want a fully-charged camera to capture the magic.
