Good to see the waterfront from the Oceanside perspective. Could have used some more narration but overall quite pleasant

We enjoyed the tour very much. It was a windy day so it was a bit cold on the top deck but we still enjoyed it. The captain gave us some commentary on certain areas but not the whole time which we appreciated. It was fun to sail under the planes landing at the airport. The boat (Northern Lights) is beautiful and very comfortable. It was not a full tour so we had plenty of room. You get a beautiful view of the city from the water.
