Highlight of trip

Because of an unforeseen incident we had to switch original reservation from Wednesday to Friday evening. The Tour operators were wonderful in assisting us in this task. We were meet at J pier gate by Wolfgang, a member of the crew … and right away we were impressed by his positive attitude and friendly personality. The cruise was chilly and a bit windy out on the Bay … but a great experience. We were given a drink and the bar for further non or alcoholic drinks were available as well as packaged snacks (for purchase). We could move about freely in the cabin area or out upon the front & sides of the Catamaran. It was clean and well kept. The crew was fun to be with and made the trip very comfortable. There was even XL jackets available for anyone struggling with the coolness of the ride. A highlight of our trip.
