These guys really know their stuff! They were super knowledgeable about everything. They gave very clear and easy to follow instructions and were super nice. This is the boat to go on if you want to see the manta rays. They had really great lights for attracting the plankton but they also knew how to take care of their customers unlike some other boats that just let their customers swim off wherever. Saw some amazing mantas and fish. Also when you get out of the water they have a hot shower that feels amazing! Additionally they provided delicious pineapple, cool water, and cookies! Cannot say enough nice things about these guys. A+

Captain Bill wanted to head out quickly for a 40 min boat ride south to have the best chance to see mantas since the prior night there were no mantas north. Boat is new, Gabe runs the group efficiently and Junior is very helpful and nice. Lights under the boat and under the boards you hang onto are super bright to attract the rays. We saw several manta rays and our 8 YO was well taken care of by Junior. If you're only snorkeling instead of diving, I would choose this boat rather than others that I saw which were packed with people on two levels. Hot shower, pineapple and chocolate chip cookies are all a nice touch.

We went with Captain Bill, First Mate and snorkel master Gabe and Junior on a night Manta snorkel. We started off right away with a beautiful pineapple snack. We really admired the brand new boat - sparkling clean and great ride. We had great weather and a pretty smooth ride to the manta site. We were one of the first boats to arrive and got one of the few moorings. Watched a wonderful sunset. When it was time to go in the water, Gabe got everyone organized and into the water smoothly. We all held on to the specially lighted surfboard float. I loved Gabe's categorization of people: fish, dogs (dog paddling folks who manage fine, but aren't experts) and cats (really would rather not be in the water but want to see the mantas). Our family was more in the fish category, but Gabe was able to work with everyone on their own level. Manta rays went right under us. We got good warning about when they were coming so I never missed anything! Hot showers and chocolate chip cookies were very welcome after we were done.
