The 2026 High Tea Schedule on the Barbara-Lee

The St Johns Rivership Co hosts a high tea aboard the Barbara-Lee most Tuesdays and Fridays from 12-2:00 pm and on select other dates throughout the year, including one Sunday each month.  Each month is focused on a different theme (or two!).  The high tea lunch cruise menu  includes a traditional British high tea:  savory sandwiches, scones, and sweets coupled with unlimited hot tea.  A gluten free menu option is also available upon request.  We sail for two hours along Lake Monroe and the St Johns River while enjoying the food and recorded music befitting that month’s theme.

Introducing a New Deathday Celebration Tea Adventure for 2026!

Expanding upon the high tea concept with a wizardly twist!  Our Tea Adventure menu offers a twist on the traditional high tea menu by offering three tiers of food filled with food from the crypt, bubbling brews and bites, and spectral sweets.  Offered twice a day on October 6, 20 & 27 we are looking forward to having you join a hidden realm where witches, wizards and friendly ghosts gather to celebrate their most important supernatural anniversaries
