Sadly, the speaker equipment on the boat was so old and corroded by saltwater, that it sounded like Charlie Brown’s teacher talking ‘wah wah wah’, I could make out every 3rd or 4th word, if I really dialed in.. left with my ears ringing.

Booked online for the next day 12:30 tour joining out of town friends. Little confusing on meeting place but found it ok finally. Boat was right on time. It is a rather smallish craft - maybe seating 25 or so. Only one covered small area for shade which was unfortunate - more shade should definitely be a priority since the Florida sun is brutal. We were lucky to be under the shaded area and were comfortable there. Since it was in the harbor, there was a little breeze on the day we went out but that is not a guarantee. There were no offers of water or anything, no food, too small a boat for a bathroom. We did see some folks bring their own drinks. It is not the most ideal set up for a tour but it was about 90 minutes, informative, and entertaining with corny jokes. It was a basic fun tour - enjoyed it!
