River Lilly Cruises operates guided boat tours on the North Fork of the St. Lucie River Aquatic Preserve in Port St. Lucie. Visitors board the River Lilly II, a 36-foot Coast Guard-certified passenger vessel with cushioned bench seating for up to 34 people. The company offers two types of cruises: jungle eco cruises, which depart at 11 am and focus on observing alligators, turtles, and native birds in their natural habitat, and evening relaxation cruises departing at 6:30 pm. Owner Eddie Hamrick, a native Floridian and USCG licensed captain, operates the vessel alongside first mate Stephanie Hamrick, who narrates tours and shares knowledge about the preserve's diverse ecosystem. These cruises suit visitors interested in wildlife observation and exploring Florida's natural waterways. Trips run seven days a week, and reservations are required before visiting.
