We took a 4-hour afternoon cruise on the bay in October, and had the best time. The boat was clean and spacious for our group of 25. I typically get motion sick but had no problems on this boat with this crew. Our guests ranged from 3 to 73 and all had fun. There was also plenty of space around the boat for everyone to have a great view of the bay and surrounding attractions, and sit or stand depending on what they wanted to do. The crew was very skilled to ensure we had a smooth, safe ride positioning us perfectly to see the sights. They were also very helpful to make everyone comfortable. I can’t wait to do it again. Thank you!
