Get on the boat earlier than the departure time to give yourself time to eat before the cruise starts. The captain/narrator was amazing! He was very passionate about his city and full of amazing and entertaining stories and information. The food selection was good and plentiful and the service was great! Definitely worth the experience!

We really love the lunch cruise. The food was delicious. Such a variety of food. The customer service and food were excellent. Depending what time of the year you are going, bring a hooded jacket or rain poncho.

The culinary experience was exceptional and highly satisfying. The cannonball demonstration at the fort was particularly impressive. I will be doing it again.
