“Our family outing included 2 infants, 3 toddlers, and 10 adults. Being able to choose what we wanted to do ( and how long) rather than following a fixed itinerary really allowed us to customize the trip to everyone’s needs and wants. We paddle boarded, snorkeled, did some site seeing, and even fished during our 4 hour trip. Only a few people wanted to fish, but since we cruised while we fished and all the work was done by the crew, fishing turned out to be the unanimous favorite. We caught and reeled in 4 fish so everyone got to participate. The service provided by the friendly crew was exceptional…”
