Captain J was fantastic! This was our first time doing something like this and our group couldn’t have had a better experience. Captain J accommodated us in so many ways and responded to my many questions in a timely and considerate manner. I felt like we were so well taken care of. Our evening cruise was spectacular and Captain Dale was a fabulous guide. He took care of everything and made us feel so safe. I would recommend Captain J and Captain Dale to anyone looking for a great time out on the water!

Captain J was the best captain we could ask for. He made sure everything went smoothly and safely. we had such a good time on the boat celebrating my birthday at the play pen. I would recommend booking with captain J and his beautiful boat to everything. All around perfect experience.
