    Great experience! We went out to see the launch of a SpaceX rocket and it was amazing! Captain CJ made the trip memorable with interesting information about dolphins, manatees, the various buildings, and rocket launches. He regaled us with stories and jokes, making the whole trip fun, but relaxing. He allowed my two kids to "drive" the boat for a few minutes, and they came away with huge grins. His fiance Tara was very welcoming and was one of those people you feel like you can instantly share stories and laugh with. We would 100% recommend taking any of their tours!
