Step aboard The Lillie at the Old Florida Riverboat Company and discover a slice of authentic Florida history floating right on the shores of East Lake Tohopekaliga. Docked at 1402 Lakeshore Blvd in charming St. Cloud, this meticulously restored 75-foot sternwheel paddleboat carries you back to a slower, sweeter era, when paddle wheels churned the water and every voyage felt like an adventure. Run by four generations of the Weaver family — Captain John at the helm, Terry keeping every detail just right, Jake bringing youthful energy, and Grandpa Ron spinning stories of the lake’s rich past — you’re welcomed aboard like an old friend rather than a passing guest. Choose the experience that fits your day: drift into a 90-minute sunset cruise with live acoustic music as the sky blazes orange and purple, book a private charter for up to 149 guests to celebrate a birthday, reunion, or corporate gathering, join a festive themed holiday cruise, or exchange vows in an unforgettable wedding on the water.

Comfort comes standard, with a full-service bar, climate-controlled indoor seating, a breezy open-air upper deck perfect for photos, wheelchair accessibility, and onboard restrooms, so everyone in your group can relax and soak it all in. All around you stretches the wild beauty of East Lake Toho, where bald eagles and ospreys soar over lush wetlands and sunsets paint the sky in colors you’ll never forget — a peaceful escape that feels worlds away, yet sits just minutes from Orlando and Disney World. With glowing 5-star reviews from families, couples, and adventurers alike, this is nostalgic Old Florida maritime heritage brought vividly to life, so come climb aboard and make memories that last a lifetime.
