5.00We had a great time celebrating a birthday . We took our own music and drinks and the captain was really obliging and we had so much fun partying.

3.00The boat ride was lovely. The day was great. The folks running the place seemed indifferent. Didn’t really seem to know we had a reservation. Once on our way we listened to an English audio which was helpful but the “captain” was on his phone the entire two hours and never communicated with us. I was glad we went but wasn’t impressed with the crew.
