I first went to the guide that said no reservations needed. When i went to the marina I was sent across the street the office was closed. I then went on line the night before and booked the trip. The next day an hour before the scheduled ride they called to cancel.

Our group was from age 10 to 54, we all had a great time. We took the 30 minute tour. The crew was very friendly and explained everything. When we visit St. Augustine again, we will take this ride again. I would highly recommened this, it is so much fun.

Booked the 30 minute ride which for me and my family was the perfect amount of time. We were a party of 8 ranging from age 7 to 66 and everyone had a great time- I especially enjoyed the loops and figure eights! The captain and assistant were so nice and friendly.

We enjoyed our trip on El Conquistador! We were the only ones on there and the captain had a great time hamming it up w/my 7 yr old son. It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend it!

My son and I took the shorter thrill boat tour a week and a half ago. There is also another tour about an hour long which does some sightseeing as well. The tour is great if you are looking to get out on the water and feel the wind in your hair. I'm not sure how many people the boat... More

My 7 and 11 year old boys went with their grandpa and LOVED the ride. The driver/owner was very nice - even let my boys start the engine!

Buying tickets and finding a convenient time to go on the tour was super easy. (Just keep in mind that El Conquistador boat tour is paperless, so you don't get a ticket or boarding passes like other tours) Both the Captains were really nice and super helpful. We were able to see some Dolphins and learn about places around the... More
