A Truly Royal Experience
There's simply nothing quite like cruising aboard the Barbara Lee, one of Florida's few authentic sternwheel paddleboats. As the paddlewheel gently turns, you'll enjoy a peaceful voyage across the sparkling waters of Lake Monroe and into the beautiful St. Johns River, surrounded by the natural beauty and tranquility of Central Florida.
Relax in our spacious enclosed, climate-controlled dining room, or step outside onto the open-air viewing decks to take in the gentle river breeze and spectacular waterfront scenery.
Dress to Impress!
