This booking is for the whole experience, which fits up to 13 guests.

You can bring your own qualified captain (subject to vessel owner approval and insurance requirements) or choose from an informational roster of insurance-approved captains.

Captain Jeff and the boat we spent our time on were both top notch. Perfect way to get familiar with a new and beautiful place. Loved our day on the water so much, we are booking again for May!
