Disappointing

A little cheesy. Boat was too crowded. Very mediocre.

Serene sail

Beautiful experience from start to finish with a champagne toast! Dave was a very accommodating tour guide and helpful with taking photos for us. Captain and bartender were nice too. Highly recommend this calm and peaceful water experience.
