Aaron_A

Amazing, even got to see dolphins. It was pretty cool. Would definitely recommend it. Beautiful sunset.

Tim_M

Food and view good. Didn't enjoy riding in rain, a heads up would have been nice to bring coverings.

Tiffany_N

Wonderful experience. From the great food and drinks to the dolphins that followed our boat in the harbor. The experience was 10/10. Of course having my boyfriend propose right before sunset really helped make things magical. The crew was amazing and brought us champagne afterwards which was so sweet. Highly recommend this adventure. The history of the island they share during the ride was awesome too. Seriously try this

Lori_O

It was wonderful dinner, food was great learned alot from the historian. Nice and wavy. Really enjoyed the cruise. The staff was amazing. (Note to other travelers if you are prone to motion sickness do not do it. If you do go and get sick DON'T blame anyone but yourself. It was a great time. ❤️

Diane_C

The crew and historical narrative made it a great experience. The sights were something you can’t see from land. Just the right size group of 70. We even saw a manta ray and a rainbow

Rose M

Excellent service by crew. Great drinks and delicious food. Entertainment and historical information were first class. Boat was very clean and all we needed for a truly enjoyable cruise.

Tina_B

The cruise was beautiful and informative. Dinner was delicious. The crew went above and beyond to make the evening a great experience. I highly recommend it.

Dana_S

Please, don't get me wrong, the trip was fun and the crew were amazing! The captain was very cool. The waiters were awesome and the music was very warm and welcoming. The storytelling, not so much. Too much talk, annoying stories that meant nothing to us travelers, it would be one thing if it was direct history, but she got off chasing rabbits and talking about a lot of nonsense! I get it, you want to make people feel at home, her stories didn't do that, they were just annoying. It went on for way too long! WAY TOO LONG!!! We've been on many other Sunset cruises, this was absolutely nothing like those. Usually at sunset, they turn the boat into the sun and allow people to stand and take pictures. This felt as though we were Rushed, with everybody holding onto the rails while they were trying to take pictures. That part was Not enjoyable at all.! I'm sorry for the negative review, I have a Travel Channel and I am responsible to my viewers to make sure what they see and what I recommend for them to do, is the highest quality. I think you have a really good start, but there needs to be some "tweaking", in your cruise.
