About Eco Explorer Cruises
The Eco Explorer
The Eco Explorer is a fiberglass power catamaran 24 feet long by 8 feet wide. Its design makes it stable and its seating arrangement makes it spacious for six passengers. The boat has a Bimini top for sun protection and cushioned seats for passenger comfort. The Eco Explorer also has a marine toilet inside its console for passenger convenience. The boat meets all Coast Guard safety requirements for six-passenger Commercial Passenger Vessels and, in addition to a compass, has a GPS, a depth finder and a marine VHF 2-way radio.
The Eco Explorer is docked in Apalachicola at the Scipio Creek Marina, 301 Market Street, four blocks north of the blinking traffic light in the heart of downtown. The Marina offers free parking, public restrooms, and houses one of Apalachicola's most popular seafood restaurants, Papa Joe's.
A 2-hour cruise is recommended, but longer and shorter cruises are available. Our cruise rates are competitive. The Eco Explorer is Apalachicola's only boat dedicated to sightseeing. Call for information and reservations.
Bad Company
For a more luxurious and exciting ride you might prefer, a trip on the fast Sea Ray boat Bad Company. Race along with dolphins and enjoy an island tour that is sure to please.
The Bad Company is dry-docked on St. George Island for faster access to the islands, bay and Gulf of Mexico. It also has a nice sound system if you want to listen to some music and hand-held showers to rinse off with, as well as reclined seats for sunbathing.
Customize your tour any way you want. Power boat tours offered for a minimum of 2 hours and 4 people.
