"We celebrated my birthday on David's boat, and I must say it was the best experience ever. My friends and I were fully entertained for the full 4hrs. David did a great job showing us around the harbor, city views, played some songs on his piano and even sang me a happy birthday. The boat is very spacious, lots of tanning space ladies. I highly recommend a boat day with him, we will definitely be back next year. Enjoy!!!" - Olivia, September 2019
