She has a private head (bathroom), and hot and cold running fresh water.
The Apalachicola River and Bay are some of the wildest and biggest in Florida. Every cruise is different, and you never know what you might see, but often Miss Lily is graced by the presence of Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Alligators, and Dolphins. The river and bay have a rich history that spans back to the days when it was home to Native Americans.
All cruises are limited to 6 passengers. Miss Lily departs from Slip 42 in Battery Park Marina, Apalachicola, Florida. Pet friendly.
