⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captain Drake delivered an absolutely unforgettable experience. From start to finish, he was a phenomenal host. His deep knowledge of the intercoastal waters, local history, and even folklore made the cruise engaging and fun without ever feeling scripted. He shared great recommendations for things to do in the area, which was an added bonus. The sunset cruise itself was stunning, easily one of the most beautiful evenings we’ve had, and the atmosphere on board was relaxed, welcoming, and genuinely fun. If you are looking for a captain who knows the waters, tells great stories, and creates a memorable experience, Drake is the one. Highly recommend.
