1.00Not sure about the rest of the guys, but one captain is an absolute jerk without any social skills. He doesn't know how to talk to people and acts like he own the island.

5.00We did a private sunset tour and were lucky to have Captain Mike. We saw dolphins, the girls got to help guide the boat, and we ended the tour with a gorgeous sunset. Highly recommend as the whole process was seamless and easy!
Lovely!
