Full description
Discover one of Florida’s most incredible natural phenomena on this nighttime bioluminescent pontoon cruise with No Quarter Charter in Cocoa Beach. As the sun sets and the skies darken, the waters of the Banana River Lagoon come alive with shimmering blue-green light caused by microscopic organisms. Each movement in the water – from a splash of your hand to a fish darting beneath the surface – creates a mesmerizing glow you have to see to believe.

Board our spacious and comfortable pontoon boat guided by experienced local captains who will navigate to the best viewing spots. Depending on the season, you may see glowing plankton known as dinoflagellates, or sparkling comb jellies that drift like underwater fireflies.

This is a peaceful, awe-inspiring experience perfect for families, photographers, or anyone wanting to enjoy the natural beauty of Cocoa Beach in a whole new light. With no paddling required, this tour is ideal for all ages and activity levels. Just sit back, relax, and soak in the wonder of bioluminescence beneath a blanket of stars.

**Please note: Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon and is at its brightest during the warmer months, typically from May through October, with peak visibility in July and August. The best viewing conditions occur on dark, moonless nights, allowing the glowing organisms to shine their brightest. However, visibility can vary depending on weather and water conditions, and there may be times when the glow is faint or not visible at all. We appreciate your understanding and strive to provide the best possible experience.
