A South-to-North Cruise of the ICW from Titusville to St. Augustine, Florida - Collaboration with Coastal Living Magazine

This leg of our journey up the Atlantic ICW is full of island exploration. The adventure begins on Amelia Island, the northern Florida home of historic and colorful Fernandina Beach, and meanders north into Georgia's magical barrier islands, including Cumberland, Jekyll, and St. Simons. Make time for beachcombing, hiking and scouting wild horses.
