Sunset cruise and meal

Excellent time. The crew were very professional and attentive. The food was excellent especially the dish that had shrimp, tomato/ tomato sauce. The weather was a little windy but the sunset was beautiful.

We had a wonderful day on...

We had a wonderful day on the water. I wasn’t sure with the wind what to expect but it turned out to be a beautiful day. The food was excellent and the beverage selection was nice. The boat was clean and easy to navigate. The crew was knowledgeable and I felt they kept us safe from start to finish. I was a little disappointed not to swim but the water was brisk-not their fault!

Best experience

Great experience. If you get sea sick, take a Dramamine before you go. Little rocky. This was truly one of the best experiences ever. The most beautiful sunset so make sure your phone is charged and capture every moment. The crew was wonderful, food was great and we were amongst 11 other people from different parts of the globe.
