Valentines Day on the Barbara Lee

This Valentine’s Day, treat your sweetheart to a romantic afternoon aboard the Barbara-Lee, Central Florida’s only authentic sternwheeler. Departing at 11:00 a.m., this three-hour lunch cruise pairs scenic beauty with timeless charm — the perfect setting for celebrating love.

Step back into the elegance of a bygone era as you sail the historic St. Johns River. Cozy up on the shaded open-air deck or stroll the ornate wrought-iron railings as you take in riverside views and watch for playful wildlife. The Barbara-Lee’s twin wooden paddlewheels and classic design create a picture-perfect backdrop for the day.

In 2024, the vessel was beautifully refreshed with updated décor, onboard Wi-Fi, and upgraded AV systems, making her even more welcoming. On board, enjoy attentive service and a special Valentine’s Day lunch — choose your entrée after boarding, accompanied by appetizers, salad, side dishes, fresh rolls, coffee, tea, and indulgent dessert. A cash bar will also be available for champagne toasts or your favorite drinks.

Whether it’s your first Valentine’s together or your fiftieth, this romantic river cruise will be a memory you’ll cherish long after the last paddlewheel turn.

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