🌟#MeetTheOwnerMonday! (& A GIVEAWAY!)🌟⁠ Emily Kopec of @gone2seaboatrentals! "A Massachusetts native, I spent my summers boating in Rhode Island- particularly Narragansett Bay, Newport, and Block Island Sound. I relocated to Saint Augustine, Florida with my husband, Captain George Kopec and our two sons, where we enjoyed a year round boating season in the warm intercostal waters. This inspired me to open a boat rental business, and Gone2Sea Boat Rentals was established in March 2023. Now I’m excited to be sharing my love of boating with people from all over the world visiting America’s Oldest City, and I’m proud to be at the helm of a woman-owned business in the boating industry. Gone2Sea offers captained and self-guided boat rentals without the requirement of a boat club membership. We take pride in maintaining a clean, high quality fleet of boats. I’m so excited about our awesome Nights of Lights tours, running now through January 26th! These private 90 minute excursions feature spectacular views of St Augustine’s historic skyline lit up with millions of white lights, complete with glimmering reflections in the water. You get a comfortable tritoon boat with a tour guide and up to 11 of your friends and family. You’re welcome to bring food and drinks onboard. You even have the option to disembark the boat to take a stroll downtown and see the lights up-close! Our festive tours are a great way to view the world-famous lights in a VIP setting and make special memories while skipping the not-so-fun traffic this time of year brings. We run our Nights of Lights tours every evening, including holidays!" 🌟@gone2seaboatrentals is teaming up with us to give away a private Nights of Lights Tour ($275value) that includes a tritoon boat with a tour guide + up to 11 guests to enjoy a 90 min festive excursion!🌟⁠ ⁠ To enter, complete each step below by 11:59PM EST on 12/12/24⁠ 1️⃣Follow @yelpjacksonville and @gone2seaboatrentals 2️⃣Like this post. ⁠ 3️⃣Tag a friend!⁠ 1 randomly selected winner will be announced 12/13/24⁠ ⁠ Please note that the giveaway winner may not post reviews on Yelp’s website about experiences/items that are paid for or included in the prize.⁠
