    5/5

    Absolutely wonderful experience with Down Cape Charters & Boat Rentals! We booked the seal watching tour and it exceeded every expectation. Captain Vic was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the local wildlife and waters. He knew exactly where to go and got us up close to the seals, all while keeping things safe and respectful of the animals. The whole trip was smooth from start to finish, the boat was clean and comfortable, and Captain Vic made sure everyone had a great time (and plenty of photo opportunities!). You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it made the experience that much more special. If you're in the area and want to see the seals, do yourself a favor and book with Down Cape Charters. Ask for Captain Vic — highly recommend! We'll definitely be back.
