2021 AVALON 2285 FISHER 10 Seater Toon in INLAND EMPIRE
This review is long overdue, but we absolutely had an AMAZING time! We cruised around Newport Harbor, made a stop at a bar for drinks and a restroom break, and the whole experience was seamless thanks to our fantastic captain. He was incredibly helpful and accommodating, even when we brought our dog—and then had two more large dogs join us at the last minute! Despite the extra furry passengers, he handled everything with ease. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!
