It was a nice evening. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The music and story telling was great. The atmosphere was not as romantic as we had expected, but overall, a very nice time.

We took the dinner cruise on the 3rd of February. The waves were a little rough, but we still had a wonderful time. It's been posted here so much, but I do have to add- guys the staff is AMAZING! Not a simple statement. It was more than just bringing you a drink or a snack. These guys and gals could move around that boat with rough water and still smile doing it. They truly did everything they could to make sure they were providing you the best assistance they could. We really enjoyed the historical narrative with the cruise also. She was excited to tell you about the island and would answer questions. The cruise leaves Kona and travels down the coast to the Captain Cook Monument. Inside the Cook Monument bay, we saw a lot of sea life. Dinner was to our liking. The trip back we ran into a pod of Spinner Dolphins. These things are not shy and if you happen to see them on your cruise, they won't disappoint! We really enjoyed this trip. I have to say again that the staff ( Captain, boat hands and musician) was amazing .

Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Sea was a little choppy but it didnt spoil the experience. We were very lucky and saw several pods of spinner dolphins who put on an amazing display. The food was well cooked, tasty and plentiful.
