4.00Only suitable in dry weather as no shelter. Would have preferred more commentary on what we were passing, rather than the musician. Sails were put up but of course she’s not a true sailing ship. Still we were lucky as it was a lovely late afternoon/evening and was something different.
Great sunset cruise!!

5.00We really enjoyed the sunset cruise! The musician was good and entertaining. The staff were very friendly. The weather was great and we had a beautiful sunset cruise. I would suggest getting there at least 30 minutes before to get in line.

Great 2 hours to start kick start our vacation.

5.00This outing was very affordable. The wind gets a bit chilly, bring a hoodie. Sit on the Port side of the boat for the best sunset pictures. Don't be shy about going uptop to get good pics too. The live music was a bonus. It was a fabulous evening. Thank you.
