Better to purchase directly from the company ..it was an extra $15. Per person to use Viator. Bring a warm coat.

It was a great tour of Frenchman Bay and surrounding area. The crew was friendly and helpful. Seating and walking space were plentiful. Suggest bringing a cup if you plan to purchase wine at their cash bar and avoiding the restroom!

Staff very knowledgeable, hard working, and friendly. Amazing vessel. Try to shoot for warmer days. It was cool when we went, be prepared. I wished for a little more narration of the area we passed on our trip. I was told there used to be a park ranger, but no more. Staff is happy to answer any question you ask. Bathroom and cold drinks aboard. Enjoy!!

It’s cooler on the water than on land. Take a sweatshirt. The crew was pleasant and knowledgeable. Great time.

Weather on the water gets cold, in the 40’s, & quite windy, in June. Please bring coats / wear hats & gloves… we were on the 6:30 pm Sunset tour. But it’s well worth it !! Live music, awesome tour; my daughter got to assist in raising the sails !
