Our Story
Emerald Coast Boat Tours was founded on the idea that exploring the water should be simple, safe, and enjoyable for everyone. As a teacher for more than 20 years and a substitute for three years prior, Julie brings her passion for kids, families, and community into every tour.
Julie is not only a lifelong educator but also a local artist, inspired by the colors and beauty of the Emerald Coast. Her love for creativity shows in the way she designs experiences that are personal, fun, and full of memories worth keeping.
