“The crew on board was amazing, the food was great, but the sunset view was the best sunset I’ve ever experienced.

You do have to pay in cash so make sure you bring some! Our instructor/host was super friendly and nice along with the staff. Lots of shade and room to sit or lay on the boat too. My only complaint was it’s too long—I think a 3-4 hour boat ride is plenty, but nonetheless we made the most of it and the beautiful views. I would definitely recommend you do it.”
