Traveler reviews
I booked this activity...
I booked this activity for my husband and I. We had a great time and enjoyed the experience. The boat was clean and in good condition. The crew was knowledgeable and very personable. This is an appropriate activity for all ages and was a fun and relaxing vibe. Drinks are available, but it’s not a party ship. Lively but still family friendly with good music.
So much fun!!
This was such a fun experience! From the friendly and knowledgeable crew Cristo, Carter and Sarah to the amazing dolphin sighting. It was such a nice break from the beach to explore the ocean in a unique way. My son loved sliding off the back of the boat and swimming over to shell island. Highly recommend island time for your next excursion!
