5.00The whole tour from start to finish was a blast. The crew did a great job getting everyone ready beforehand, so we were able to leave the marina on time and get to the fun. Harry was the best and made sure everyone was doing alright throughout. High speed adventure fun and great way to see the Inlet and the harbor!
Great experience

5.00An excellent adventure! While their day was busy with tours, we lucked out and where the only 2 folks signed up for our time slot. Other companies might have tried to talk us into switching or worse yet cancel. Instead, they welcomed us to our private tour! We had a fabulous time and as the only guests the camera was focused on us so we had to buy the extra photo package. Great ride - great company.
