The water was a little rough, but we didn't get sick. The food was excellent and so were the drinks. Great service, enjoyed the narration, music, and fresh ocean breezes.

Booked this dinner cruise to go to see the Captain Cook’s monument. Was expecting tables to sit at individually. More like bench seating around the boat with a little tables in front of you. Drink selection was OK and the quality was OK. No selection or details on the dinner before we arrived. Unfortunately quality of dinner wasn’t great. Some spicy chicken possibly dish? And shredded coconut on white rice? Left a little bit to be desired. But did get to see dolphins and the sunset it was lovely.

This was by far the best dinner/sunset cruise we have taken. What more could one ask for.... Live music, great food and drinks. Getting to see some beautiful bottle nose dolphins jumping out of the water. Amazing sunset that just never seemed to go away. The entire crew were just awesome.
