Personalized experience with the best crew & boat - It was a great time. Very nice, friendly, and knowledgeable crew. Clean boat I have done tours like this in big boats geared for lots of people...but this is so much better. More personalized. We got to ask questions and learn about other things.. like local fishes and birds as this was the captain's other degree. Learning their story exuded their passion for marine life. They do this out of the joy it brings. This is not about the $$$ type of operation!! Would definitely go again!
