$27 for a BYOB Twilight Cruise for Two from Amelia River Cruises in Fernandina Beach ($54 Value)

for a BYOB Twilight Cruise for Two ( Value)
Pairs enjoy open-air views of the sunset as the USCG-certified captain steers a 59-foot catamaran down the picturesque Cumberland Sound. Guests over 21 can sip on alcoholic beverages brought along while enjoying music from local entertainers onboard.
Amelia River Cruises
Captain Kevin and Cecilia McCarthy have always been fond of the sea. Born and raised in the port town of Gloucester, Massachusetts, Kevin sojourned south in 1968 before meeting his wife Cecilia, whose family had arrived on the marshy shores of Fernandina nine generations ago. After Kevin worked as a building contractor for nearly 30 years, he and Cecilia opted to embrace their shared love for being on the water, and founded Amelia River Cruises in the summer of 2000. Twelve years later, their fleet is three U.S. Coast Guard–inspected boats strong, and each cruises steadily along myriad tours of Cumberland Island, Beach Creek, and the shores of Amelia Island. Two-hour eco tours depart 90 minutes before sunset to journey through state parks and aquatic preserves, where hands-on shrimping experiences let guests identify their captured creatures before asking them the current exchange rate of a sand dollar and releasing them back into the wild. The local and surrounding ecosystem, with diverse wildlife that appears most prominently during the summer months, boasts playful pods of dolphins, an abundance of shore birds, and sea turtles who visit to nest on nearby island shores.

$12 for $25 Worth of Japanese Cuisine at Fuji Sushi
Like the earth, sushi consists of layers and was apparently invented by someone who really liked the ocean. Explore waves of flavor with this Groupon.
for Worth of Sushi and Japanese Cuisine
The kitchen churns out everything from hot vegetable tempura (.25) and grilled entrees of chicken (.95) and salmon (.95) to creative sushi such as the Rock ‘n’ Roll with tempura shrimp (.50) and the Pink Lady roll with spicy, crunchy tuna (.50). See the full menu here.
Fuji Sushi
While admiring Fuji Sushi’s sloped wooden tiki roof, hardwood floors, and bamboo-hued walls, one might think the entire restaurant was carved from the trunk of an enormous tree. Yet the timbered eatery isn’t afraid to play with fire—chefs regularly toss morsels of fresh salmon, chicken, and steak into flames on kitchen hibachi grills, where crunchy vegetables also sizzle to form well-rounded Japanese entrees. Hot and cold sake, wine, and beer take the edge off hunger as guests watch sushi artisans slice sashimi and insulate rolls with shrimp, fish eggs, and sea urchin. After dining on curls of steaming fried noodles, patrons can sate sugar hankerings with a sweet Japanese dessert or donate their gently used chopsticks to the Toddler Fencing Association of Jacksonville.

$15 for $30 Worth of Patriotic and Military-Inspired Apparel from Grunt Style
Tastefully showing pride in one’s country can be a challenge when selecting an Independence Day outfit or boycotting the foam-finger shop at the United Nations. Flaunt the stars and stripes with today’s Groupon: for , you get worth of patriotic clothing from Grunt Style.
Former drill sergeant Alarik founded Grunt Style, a web-based clothing retailer, and continues to channel his patriotic pride and rough-and-tumble mindset into the shop’s military-inspired designs. Men might sport a 1776 T-shirt in dusk-hued gray (.95), emblazoned with the soldiers’ creed and a silhouette of the powerful bald eagle that was Abraham Lincoln’s childhood pen pal. The warm dark furrows of a heavy knit cap (.95) nestle against noggins and flaunt patriotic pride with a U.S. flag and Grunt Style logo, pairing ideally with a range of other cold-weather gear. Vintage-inspired threads cast minds back through time with items such as an all-black hoodie, which draws peepers to a printed flag and the text “undefeated America” (.95). Women can show love for their country with a blue v-neck T-shirt (.96), on which the letter O in the word “love” is replaced by the stars and stripes. Grunt Style’s guarantee backs all items, ensuring that a customer can return apparel at any time, for any reason, including something as minor as beer spilled on a shirt or grass stains from diving for a falling American flag.
