4.00When you have 2 people working, one should check in the people, and the other should be at the correct boat seating people. If you want people there 30 minutes early, they should be able to sit on the boat not stand which is difficult for the elderly. We arrived at 6:00 as asked and joined the line at the wrong boat. Those of us who could stood in line to save a place for those who couldn’t stand that long. When the other staff member arrived at departure time, we discovered that everyone was lined up at the wrong boat. The people who arrived last were seated first, and those that arrived first, had the last choice of seats. Seems like an easy fix: one person checks in, and the other is at the correct boat seating people.

5.00Very enjoyable, the captain & first mate were very professional, informative and funny. They seem to enjoy their jobs and sincerely want their guests to have a good time and see dolphins. Recommend bringing a light jacket at least during this time of year.

4.00Captains were amazing at showing us around the waters with some history and stories about the Island. Bummed we didn't get more Dolphin action but that's not the tour's fault. They just weren't showing off this time around. It was a wonderful cruise with the best vibes. Appreciate the outing with our family we were able to have because of this tour!
