    Wow! The food was way better than the pictures. Truly, top notch including the service and views! The crew was super friendly, volunteering to take pictures, and prompt with drinks. There's live music and a historical narrator during the sail. The captain even kept the boat out to watch the sunset to completion before pulling into dock. What a great evening and bang for the buck!

  • Love the Dinner Cruise

    Everything was great until it started to rain heavily. The cruise got cut short and our food was soaked. We missed 2hrs of our cruise and of course there is no compensation for it. The staff were great though!!!
