Private Dinner Cruises & Dockside Dining

CRUISE THE RIVER. DINE ON THE WATERFRONT.

Experience Jacksonville aboard VADA, your private 50-foot yacht for up to six guests. Take in the skyline, then make an evening of it with an optional dining stop at Asado Life.

The Dock & Dine experience

A private yacht cruise, followed by waterfront dining

Your evening begins on the St. Johns River, not in a crowded dining room.

Relax aboard VADA with your favorite people as your licensed captain navigates Jacksonville's scenic waterways. Enjoy the skyline, bridges and riverfront views before an optional stop for dinner at Asado Life near Metropolitan Park Marina.

We can help coordinate the restaurant reservation. Dinner is served at the restaurant, not aboard the yacht; food and beverage charges are separate. Docking and reservations require confirmation.
