The experience, view, music, historian and the dinner was amazing. This is a little over valued price wise. I could have done without the ladies gossiping, whispering and messing around as they were getting the boat ready. You should know on cruise ship days they have multiple back to back cruises and you won’t get on or leave on time.

The female caption did a fantastic job, using crew spotters to locate spinner dolphins and pilot whales, which we got to see up-close. The food was amazing, which is pretty difficult with pre-prepped food and a two-deck, open boat environment. The entire crew worked quickly and efficiently to make that happen. The female guide did a wonderful job relaying a lot of history in an entertaining manner. The boat was clean and well-maintained. The bartender concocted amazing drinks. This was a far cry from your common booze-cruise sunset experience. Very high-end throughout, and much more enjoyable.

This was an amazing trip. The staff was excellent, friendly and so accommodating to all. Saw spinner dolphins and even a manta ray. Historical talk was very informative and fun to listen to. Food was excellent. Who would've guessed you'd get tasty ribs on the cruise? Sat on the top deck and enjoyed all the views. Music was great, but couldn't hear as well as those on the bottom deck. Excellent, excellent. Worth the money and time.
