We did the historical dinner cruise. Started off with a nice snack buffet and the free drink. The crew went over the top on helpfulness. Their number one goal was to make sure everyone was safe and had a good time. The historical information was great, the musician was amazing (thought we were listening to a recording until I saw him playing live), the boat was nice and well maintained, but the dinner was surprisingly superb. All of the proteins (chicken, beef and pulled pork) were amazing. I couldn't pick a favorite, and I'm glad that I tried some of each. I would recommend this on the dinner alone, but the whole experience was great.

We had a great time. Well-maintained vessel with a steady and comfortable ride. Informative narrative by the historian. Decent meal. Entertaining live singer on the ride home. Skilled captain and attentive crew. We had great weather, saw a few dolphin and a manta, and capped it off with a beautiful sunset and a smooth sail back with the gentle breeze off the stern. Free parking near the Body Glove Cruise Office a short walk to the pier. Couldn't have asked for more!
