    • Leave glass, red wine, overly messy foods, and pets behind

    We did the tour with Captain Brandon and he was very nice and accommodating. We went around emerald bay and had a great time. My only complaint is that it felt too short. I felt like we didn’t get to swim as much as I would’ve liked because it was time to head back, but he mentioned we can ask about extending the time next time. I think 3 hrs would be better than 2 if you really want to spend time on the water. I would def do this tour again just extend the time.
