Good day trip! The crew was great and kept things lively. Wish there was a bit more shade on deck though. Perfect for a sunny day and some FUN ON THE SEA.

Was fun but the trip felt a bit rushed, and not enough time to relax on board. Still nice to be out at sea and the views were nice. Would recommend but maybe not for those wanting to chill all day.
