Our tour was amazing. The narrator was very knowledgeable, funny and offered us so much detail and history. He is very good at what he does.

Lots of fun. Get there early to get second deck seats. Enjoy the cruise, have a couple drinks and see the cannon shot.

Great time, clean boat and friendly crew. We totally lucked out with the weather as well which would obviously make/break the experience in my opinion. The only thing was it was very hard to hear the captain talking about the different points of interest, I think you had to be right under a speaker or it would be drowned out by people talking etc. we didn't order any food or drinks but everyone on the boat seemed pleased!

Cruise itself was nice and the staff are great. For $75 per person it would have been nice to have at least one drink and a snack included.

The boat was clean, well-maintained, and offered spectacular views of the harbor. The length of the trip was just right—not too short, not too long. The crew was professional and well-organized, making everything run smoothly. Directions were clear and easy to follow from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a scenic and relaxing time on the water.
