Welcome to the Florida Panhandle's premier natural paradise, the Apalachicola Area, where Nature reigns and the environment still is pristine. We hope you will choose to experience the natural beauty and the marine and bird wildlife of the Forgotten Coast's inland and coastal waterways up close from the comfort of the Eco Explorer. Our inland cruise explores the Apalachicola River's subtropical swamps and marshes, while the coastal cruise explores Apalachicola Bay, its barrier islands and Gulf of Mexico waters just off the islands.
The Eco Explorer is a spacious and stable power catamaran. It meets all safety requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard for Commercial Passenger Vessels permitted to carry up to six passengers. With no more than six passengers on board at a time, this promotes an informal conversational atmosphere as Capt. Ed points out the natural and historical points of interest.
Picturesque Apalachicola is on the doorstep of both River and Bay Ecosystems -- each distinctive, each unspoiled. We will briefly sketch the rich history and the fishing heritage of Apalachicola as we cruise through the harbor to share Nature with you.
