Cruise Florida’s glowing nighttime waters on a relaxed, two-hour boat tour with a captain and room for up to six guests.

About this tour

See Florida’s nighttime waters come alive on a Cocoa Beach Bioluminescence Boat Tour. Seasonal bioluminescence paints the water with blue-green light, creating a striking backdrop for an easygoing evening cruise. Settle aboard the boat and enjoy the view without paddling, while your captain and guide share safety and local information.

As you travel through the water, watch for dolphins, fish, and manatees moving through their natural habitat. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but the glowing water and quiet nighttime setting make the journey memorable in their own right. The two-hour trip welcomes up to six guests, with bottled water and soft drinks provided. You can bring other beverages or food, too; glass containers and hard liquor are not allowed. The vessel has no bathroom, and tours depend on weather conditions. If the captain cancels for weather, you’ll be notified and can reschedule without a fee.

Meet your captain at Cape Crossing Marina in Merritt Island, then settle in for a seasonal look at Florida’s luminous waters. Book your Cocoa Beach Bioluminescence Boat Tour and enjoy the glow from the comfort of the boat.
