5.00We had the best time with Captian Victor. He reached out the day prior to assure us that he was all set to take us. The boat was nice and clean and had plenty of space for our group and our food and drinks we brought with us. Communication was seamless. They always answered all my questions and made the whole process very easy. Very professional team who gave us an amazing experience overall, and we loved seeing the sunset and the city by boat. Just gorgeous!
