1st class operation, the vessel is kept and maintained in excellent condition and the captain and crew are very professional. I would highly recommend.

If I could give this a 10 out of 10, it would be an 11 out of 10. This is such an amazing experience and Lou is a great photographer with an amazing personality. The captain was a great tour guide on the water and Lauren was so nice as well. Great bartender lol. I booked this trip for my boyfriend’s birthday and he absolutely loved it.
