Welcome to The Coastal Canvas: Meet Julie, the Heart Behind Emerald Coast Boat Tours

Welcome to The Coastal Canvas, the official blog of Emerald Coast Boat Tours. This is where we’ll share stories painting the picture of life on the Emerald Coast — from dolphins at play to sunsets on the bay, and from travel tips to personal reflections. To kick things off, we want to introduce you to Julie, the founder, local artist, and teacher who turned her love for the coast into unforgettable adventures for families just like yours.

Julie’s Story

Julie’s journey to the water started in the classroom. With over 20 years of experience as a teacher and another three as a substitute, she’s always been passionate about creating safe, fun, and memorable environments for kids and families. That same heart for teaching is what makes her tours different — every trip is designed with families in mind.

But Julie isn’t just an educator. She’s also a local artist whose work is inspired by the natural beauty of the Emerald Coast. The same creativity she pours into her paintings shows up in her approach to running Emerald Coast Boat Tours. She doesn’t just plan trips; she curates experiences — each one painted with the colors of the coast.

Why the Emerald Coast Matters

For Julie, the Emerald Coast is more than a backdrop — it’s home. The calm bay waters, playful dolphins, and breathtaking sunsets are her daily inspiration. Starting Emerald Coast Boat Tours was her way of sharing this beauty with others, blending her love for teaching, art, and community into something families can experience together.

The Mission

Julie’s mission is simple: to make every seaside experience effortless, safe, and unforgettable. From boat tours to kayak rentals, luxury cars, and even a cozy Airbnb stay, Emerald Coast Boat Tours is more than just excursions — it’s a complete vacation solution designed with families in mind.
