About the Barbara-Lee
Homeported in Sanford, Florida, the Barbara-Lee continues the tradition of sternwheelers that have navigated the St. Johns River since 1830. With its ornate wrought iron railings and massive wooden paddle wheels, this elegant steamboat captures the charm of historic riverboats. The five climate-controlled decks ensure a comfortable experience as the Barbara-Lee cruises northward, showcasing historic fish camps, cypress swamps, Spanish moss-draped trees, and marshlands.

 

Step aboard this nostalgic paddleboat—your last chance to sail this year!

 

 

Please be advised that the bus will be stopping at all three pick-up points (Wildwood, Inverness and Ocala) for this and all tours.
