Excellent tour made even more so by the tour guide, Rusty. Former Navel aviator , former airline pilot, long time resident and cut from the same bolt of cloth as Wilfred Brimsley. Very good boat and crew. Worth every cent.
Awesome tour

We enjoyed the 1 hour south harbor cruise. It was a perfect ending to a busy tourist day. Lights of the city seen from out in the harbor - great finish!
