At Serene River Cruises, we offer a refined alternative to crowded tour boats. Our classic Duffy boat delivers the comfort, quiet, and exclusivity of a private yacht—at a price anyone can afford.
Unlike generic plastic boats packed with tourists, our cruise is about personal experience. With plush vinyl seating, a fully enclosed cabin, and the peaceful hum of electric power, your experience begins the moment you step aboard. Wildlife sightings? That is just the cherry on top.
Once we leave the dock, you’ll cruise along the scenic Amelia River and its tidal estuaries. The route depends on the tide since this area has large tide swings. High tide opens up hidden marshes full of bird calls and fish splashes. At low tide, wading birds and shallow-dwelling game fish emerge, dolphins are often found playing in the strong currents. Whether it’s dolphins, redfish, manatees, or white pelicans, nature always puts on a show.
Perfect for small groups, locals, or visitors, our cruise is a laid-back way to celebrate, catch up with friends, or simply unwind. Bring your favorite drinks, grab some good company, and cruise in style.

The captain and photographer (husband & wife duo) were so personable and made us feel so comfortable! 1000/10 recommend!!”
