5.00Super fun! The captain is amazing and will take you wherever you want to go. We went in the evening 5-9 and it was great. There are sand bars he stops at and you can find sand dollars and we saw a sting ray. Also went to some beaches to walk around that were gorgeous. It was fun to come back and see city lights at night. He has a cooler on the boat and got ice for drinks. I’d highly recommend!
Great Captain, friendly and saw dolphins, and tubbing. Muy bueno
