The history part was very well done. The cruise itself was great and a good length. It even stopped for a while at the end to enjoy the music and dance if you wanted to! Never a rushed feeling. The staff was very attentive, even offering to take a sunset pic for you. The drinks were fabulous! Good job. If there’s any negative: don’t advertise appetizers if all you give is a handful of nuts! However, the food itself was good filled by a great dessert!

We took this dinner cruise on Thanksgiving and they altered the menu slightly and served salad, turkey, potatoes, beets, kale, dinner roll and a pumpkin flavored dessert. As a vegetarian I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get full enough on all the sides. This dinner cruise was a perfect way to learn more about the area, take great sunset and ocean pix, and just chill out and enjoy cruising in the Hawaiian Bay. Get there really early if you want to pick your prime spot on the boat. All of the servers on the boat were super helpful and attentive, I never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a refill of my drink. Derek, the talented musician, was an absolute joy to listen to while we were enjoying the wonderful scenery. I'd absolutely recommend taking this dinner cruise.
