“First, this tour took off right on time. Check in at least 15 minutes ahead of departure time- we had not checked in and got a call- I thought that was a nice touch. Captain Rae was amazing- she was so personable and explained a lot about sailing to us during the trip. The crew of Chelsie, Brad and Milo did an excellent job of keeping us in drinks and serving several different apps. We had an amazing time on this trip and I would definitely recommend!”
