Jacksonville Promo Sail A Huge Success!

What a great day and sail we had for our first-ever Jacksonville promo sail of our Cumberland Sound Ferry! The skies cleared up and we had sunny weather for the duration of the sail to and from St. Marys GA out of the Port of Fernandina Beach.

Dolphins entertained and even followed our boat, we saw lots of wild horses including some of the new babies just born this spring. Food and an overwhelming welcome awaited our passengers and the remarks were just fantastic!

We hope to have more Jax visitors soon!

Shrimp Festival and Spring 2009 brought views of 6 new baby foals or baby horses on the coast of the Cumberland Island National Seashore, as well as the return of manatees, baby dolphins, alligators, exotic birds and a special visit by an 8 foot manaray that attempted to join two passenger of our Cumberland Sound Ferry as he/she jumped into the air and nearly ended up in the front of our vessel during Shrimp Festival.

Sea otters have returned to jump on smaller boats docked below our ramp, much to the amusement of onlookers; not so much boat owners cleaning their paw prints.

Summer can't help but to promise more sightings of the above and so much more! Come sail with us and see the abundance of wildlife and natural landscapes that will stun you along the Golden Isles of SE Georgia and NE Florida.
