Best boat tour! - Relaxing tour, great ship crew, awesome trip! The captain had a great personality, and the entire crew were very attentive. Amenities offered were nice. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. Loved it wasn’t a “guided tour”.

Ok tour - The ride was good. Seating was comfortable as you sit on a wood “dog house”? And feel like you just arched a basketball game sitting on wood bleachers. The trip was supposed to be a dolphin tour. The guide/captain never said a word about attempting to locate dolphins, with the exception of telling people there was a dolphin, after everyone began pointing at it.
