Smiling Times - Open air cruising, dolphins close by, rum punch, sandy beach with water sports, happy crew, did I mention rum punch... much better than competitor. My only suggestion, PA system. Could barely hear narration while underway.

Very fun for the kids and relaxing for the adults - The crew was amazing and very accommodating. The boat was clean and had plenty of seating. There were a large variety of kids drinks, and adult drinks.

People are nice, inflatables were just ok - Let me start by saying the people who works here could not be more friendly. They take their job seriously and it shows. I was a little disappointed with the inflatables. There were fewer than I expected and there was only 2 kayaks and a few paddle boards for everyone. I didn’t realize we were not going to be on the side of Shell Island where we could find shells. For parents watching your kids play or for anyone just wanting to relax there are no chairs or loungers. The second part was the dolphin watch, but it was just a boat ride. I know you can not predict where wildlife will be, but was disappointed we did not see anything. I would have preferred half the time at the inflatables and half on the other side where we could look for shells.
