Extremely overpriced for the service received. Advertised target audience as 13 and over, because it is a sailboat serving alcoholic beverages, but boat was full of preschoolers. We did see dolphins but barely left the marina harbor. Just turned the boat in circles for the kids to watch the dolphins....never got to actually sail. Then, we puttered back to the marina as slow as possible to fill the 90 minutes promised in the brochure.
