    We had the most excellent time on a Thursday night boat tour! The staff were all friendly and funny, the food was great, and of course the views were beautiful ๐Ÿ˜. They were also very helpful with assisting my mom with boarding/unboarding as she uses a walker. This is something I'd definitely do again! They have picked some great local restaurants to collaborate with too! THANK YOU Captain Swain and all for creating a beautiful mother/daughters adventure!
