February brings some of the most delightful conditions for exploring St. Augustine. While much of the country endures winter chill, Florida’s oldest city greets visitors with mild temperatures, refreshing breezes, and brilliant blue skies. The result? Perfect days and cooler evenings are ideal for discovering historic streets, vibrant wildlife, and unforgettable coastal experiences.
From guided cruises to private celebrations, February is the perfect time to experience St. Augustine from the water—where history, nature, and relaxation flow together.
Sunset Cruises Along the Coast

Whether celebrating with a partner, enjoying a getaway with friends, or simply savoring the sights, every sunset cruise offers a blend of coastal relaxation and scenic wonder.
This experience captures the essence of St. Augustine in February—tranquil yet vibrant, timeless yet fresh, making it one of the most memorable ways to end your day.
Dolphin Watch & Harbor Cruise

As Fury’s vessel glides along the historic harbor, knowledgeable crew members share fascinating stories about the region’s maritime heritage and natural environment. Keep an eye out for dolphins, commonly spotted year-round as they playfully swim and leap nearby. Seabirds and other wildlife frequently appear as well, adding even more character to the coastal scenery.
