Two-hour cruise available soon through 5 Inns of Elegance in St. Augustine
Jacksonville-St. Augustine —  March 2012

I wasn’t aware that 447th birthdays were among the big milestones, but you can celebrate St. Augustine reaching that mark with a cruise promotion tied to the occasion.

Here are the details as forwarded to the Postcards blog:

The 5 Inns of Elegance in St. Augustine invite couples to enjoy a romantic 2-hour sail along the historic St. Augustine bayfront aboard the Schooner Freedom, with excursions running May 1 through December (not including weekends & holidays).

Take a step back in time and cruise through the beautiful waterways when you stay at any of the Inns of Elegance for two nights Sunday-Thursday at the prevailing full-rate price per inn. A complimentary bottle of Champagne at the Inn begins your adventure upon arrival.

This promotion requires ‘advanced reservations’. (Schooner Sail for Two & Champagne = $100 value).

The TALL SHIP 72’ Topsail Schooner is a U.S. Coast Guard certified sailing vessel, a replica of the blockade runners that once cruised the famous waters in the 19th century. She was built in Norfolk VA in 1982 by famed Naval architect Merritt Walters.

Guests can choose either a sunset 2-hour romantic evening sail watching the dazzling sunset embracing the City’s skyline – or – a midday cruise through the Matanzas River soaking up the sun and watching for dolphins and manatees.

The 5 Inns of Elegance is a Celebrated Collection of Romantic Bed & Breakfast Inns offering:

• Gourmet Breakfast

• Outstanding Accommodations with Picturesque Settings

• V.I.P. Personalized & Attentive Service

• Award-Winning Historic Properties (circa 1791 – 1918)
