Nights of Lights on the water

Making the holidays even more memorable, Florida Water Tours offers world-class yacht charter services for the annual Nights of Lights festival in St. Augustine, Florida.

The festival traces it's origins to the Spanish tradition of displaying a white candle in the window during Christmas holidays. The spectacular lighting reflects the city's 450-year history and illuminates the beautiful setting for lasting holiday memories.

From November to January 31st, St. Augustine glows with holiday magic from the ground to the rooftops. Selected by National Geographic as one of the 10 best holiday lighting displays in the world, the festival features millions of tiny white lights that create a magical atmosphere in the nation's oldest city.
