Delightful experience on a great boat, and a responsive and friendly crew. The 100 minute cruise was the perfect amount of time on the water. The beverages for sale were reasonable and and very extensive.

What a fun, relaxing sightseeing cruise on a real sailboat! Went with friends. There's an open (cash) bar. Peter, Lee, and Austin were excellent crew.
