We were on a boat with Captain Nick, Libby, MJ, Morgan(?), and a couple of other folks whose names I didn't catch. They were all professional and helpful. Instructions were clear and we felt like we could ask questions whenever we needed to. The boat ride was slow, gentle, and short (about five minutes). We weren't the first boat to arrive, and at first I was worried we were going to miss out, but our crew knew what they were doing and we were not disappointed.
No matter what you've seen on YouTube, you aren't prepared for this. It is so cool it's hard to describe. We bought the GoPro package and it was well worth it. These gentle monsters come out of nowhere sometimes and can even bump into you unexpectedly.
My daughter got cold and a bit sick and she had to go back to the boat early and that was not a problem. The crew had a plan and got her safely back to the boat while the rest of us continued watching the rays.
I will say that those of us on one end of the board had a better time than those at the other end, so results may vary even within the same trip.
