THE CREW

The Cruise Cocoa Crew!! Where knowledge meets adventure on the water.

At Cruise Cocoa, we’re more than just a boat tour company, we’re a team of experienced captains, local guides, and water lovers passionate about creating unforgettable experiences on Florida’s Space Coast. From dolphin sightings and manatee encounters to breathtaking sunsets and rocket launches, our crew is dedicated to making every trip memorable.

Our team is made up of licensed U.S. Coast Guard captains, lifelong boaters, local experts, and friendly hosts who love sharing the beauty and wildlife of the Indian River Lagoon with our guests. Whether you’re joining us for a family outing, private charter, sunset cruise, bioluminescence tour, or special event, you’ll be welcomed aboard with genuine hospitality and local knowledge.

Operating from Melbourne and Cocoa Beach, Florida, Cruise Cocoa offers family-friendly adventures designed to bring people together on the water. Every cruise is an opportunity to relax, explore, celebrate, and experience the natural beauty of the Space Coast from a unique perspective.

At Cruise Cocoa, you’re not just booking a tour — you’re creating memories with a crew that truly loves what they do.
