So so fun for a bunch of 30 year olds! There was a little confusion on the morning of- the owner got confused and accidentally canceled the booking. But he was very communicative with the technical error and really great to work with. Great bang for your buck!
This boat is even better in person. We had a great time celebrating my husbands birthday. The crew was so wonderful, even had bottled water and towels for us! Can’t wait to go back.

Overall a great experience would definitely recommend. Finding a captain can be a bit tough but lucky we found Walter - he’s hilarious! Appreciate the experience.

The boat was great and spacious for all 10 of us. We had a wonderful day on the water, and our Captian Walter was so fun and nice. Highly recommend!
