Great

Enjoyed the cruise. Captains were very knowledgeable about the harbor. They made sure we saw dolphins and took their time for everyone. Definite plus. Now want to do the haunted tour

Informative and entertaining

Although we did not see a lot of dolphins, Trent was very informative and entertaining. It was a relaxing trip after spending the morning surfing with Waves of Impact. We appreciated the partnership and will definitely recommend.
