Had a great trip with Capt Mikey & Gehrig. They are THE BEST!!!! So accommodating! Put us right in front of dolphins and turtles and so much other marine life. Gehrig was very hands on and guided our family around the best snorkel spot. And the sail home was so picturesque and beautiful. I’d book it again in a heartbeat!
