5.00Captain Dave was great. He communicated well from before the trip to share what to bring and what not to bring. His boat was great and it shows the pride he has in the boat. He toured the islands and gave great factual information. The sunsets are amazing and to be on the water for them is even better. Took us out into the Guif of Mexico for a brief minute but turned back for a sooth ride. Little chilly as the sun was setting bring a blanket if it’s early season. A must see and do when in the area.
Very relaxing - exactly...
