Really relaxed low key vibe. Captain Steve and Kirsten were wonderful hosts. Very informative and helpful. Kirsten took pictures of everyone with the sunset backdrop. Wine and bud/bud light were included in the Very reasonable price. Other beverages and snacks were available for purchase for 4 dollars. Nice crowd of passengers

Great for kids - easy trip, not too long, kids all seemed to have fun watching the dolphins in the pass! We didn’t take part in the refreshments, but had fun watching the sunset.

Captain Steve and Grace were wonderful! It was a great time. I wish I had been able to see the sunset better but that was only because guests on that side of the boat stood up the whole time. Even with that it was wonderful and we were go again.

We had a fantastic time exploring the inter-coastal and found lots if dolphins before heading out to catch the sunset. Both the captain and first mate (Kristin?) were very attentive and made sure to answer questions and offer drink replenishments!
