We have done their cruise twice once in May with family and once in August with friends. Each time was very enjoyable. The boat is clean and well appointed with plenty of crew on board to assist. The cruise itself is around two hours and heads south from Kingston to Hyde Park. There is occasional narration providing the history of the waterway and the many mansions that sit on it's banks. There is a full bar and food available. We didn't indulge but others seemed to enjoy. When boarding a photo of each group is taken which is available for purchase at the end. Very reasonable and a nice momento. We recommend this highly.

My wife and I enjoyed our two hour cruise on the Rip Van Winkle. The narration was excellent, the vessel was clean and well maintained, and the crew and servers were pleasant and helpful.
