Great meal, interesting/informative cruise - The meal was excellent; Lobster and Steak were perfectly cooked. The deserts were outstanding. Steve Arnold was a very gracious, informative host and provided the attendees many interesting facts not only about the PEI landmarks/attractions that were seen on the cruise but on the history of the boat itself. The boat is remarkably quiet and the trip was smooth and relaxing. Highly recommended for anyone visiting PEI. Great value for your money.

Class Trip with Steve - Went with my university class and Steve gave us a super interesting interpretative presentation, even for a local! The boat itself is also a top notch vessel (clean and obviously sustainable). Didn’t get a chance to try the food, but options sounded great, will have to come back to try.
