Description: This company calls it a “day-cation,” and it really is. You’ll glide over the calm waters of the Intracoastal Waterway on the Lady Atlantic, a snack in one hand and a drink in the other. It’s a two-hour narrated tour past some of the area’s most beautiful mansions, and a variety of marine life in its natural habitat. Most cruises head south from Veterans Park, on East Atlantic Avenue, to Boca Raton, and then back again. If you’re the romantic type, however, and you’ve got a special person in mind, there are few things more intimate than the Sunset Cruises.The Lady Atlantic is a brand-new, 105-foot boat with three decks. If you head for the top one, you can sit outside and be caressed by the soft breezes and the warm sunshine. Throughout the year, the Lady Atlantic offers specialty cruises in addition to the regular sightseeing tours. The Sunday Brunch Cruise, for example, is a two-hour jaunt that heads north towards Manalapan Island, one of the wealthiest communities in the United States. In addition, there are Wine Tasting Cruises; Links & Drinks cruises, complete with a putting green and a golf pro; and Friday Dinner Cruises, with an Italian buffet. During the holiday season, there is the Holiday Lights cruise, on which you sail past beautifully lit-up Intracoastal homes.
