Excellent and friendly crew. The crew made an effort to talk privately with the passengers and share interesting information about the harbor sights.

Booked last minute with three others and we had a blast! The captains were informative and fun plus the drinks were cheap and good! I unfortunately spilt my drink immediately but they got me a new one for free. I will definitely sail again with them next time I am there!
