Captain Pete was an excellent captain and historian. He was incredibly knowledgeable and honored the heritage of the Gullah people. An extra bonus ..we received a list of books, movies, and documentaries focusing on the people of the island.

Fun and educational with a little shopping thrown in! Captain Pete is very knowledgeable. Wear a warm coat because the crossing is cold!
