Great boat experience

We loved our day on the water. Great customer service and had all the amenities needed. We loved that there was a toilet on board and plenty of cooking utensils, didn’t even use everything that was provided! Thanks so much for a great family day!! Highly recommend for future boating experiences:-) we were lucky enough to see dolphins
