Great crew members and ambient. Everyone was generous, great music options. It is a medium sized boat but lots of fun for all ages.

Friendly crew, great experience all around and was way more than expected. The dolphin sightings were plentiful and the firework show at the end was a wonderful sight. The captain plays a variety of music while on board the ship, keeping the fun going throughout the entire ride.
