What a wonderful experience. Body Glove is a first rate business. The crew was so attentive and professional. The historian was very good with the just the right mix of facts and fun. The musician was perfect, choosing a wonderful assortment of songs, and the food was the BEST BBQ we had all week in Hawaii! We were fortunate in having a gorgeous sunset, were escorted by cute little Spinner dolphins, then were lucky enough to have a manta ray swimming by the boat while we ate dinner. Wow. this was a fantastic way to spend our last night on the island.

This dinner cruise was much better than expected. The staff aboard the Body Glove boat were very helpful and friendly, and the boat is smooth. The live music, featuring a guitarist, and the historian who gave stories and pointed out historic areas as we passed by and explained their significance really set the mood and were both relaxing, knowledgeable and talented. I appreciated that extra touch. I think the most surprising thing was how high quality the food and drink were. There is a full bar aboard with a talented bartender (and the ability to take credit cards), and the appetizer spread and the full dinner really were unexpectedly good and varied. Really a highly recommended experience.

5/23/19. Enjoyable dinner cruise from Kailua pier down the coast to the Cpt Cook Monument in Kealakekua Bay. 8th generation Hawaiian guide pointing out itmens of interest and history of the area. Crew was very friendly and helpful to us landlubbers enjoying a late afternoon on the water. The crew set 2 fishing poles trolling for fish. On the way down they caught a fish and landed it on the back of the catamaran. On board music was very good also.
