“Our Captain Aaron did a fantastic jump of reading the group and meeting our needs. The waters were super rough the day we boated but we made the most of it. The only negative was that the sample itinerary listed is not realistic. We thought we would be able to see all the beaches listed, it should be clear that it is a sample list. We only made 3 stops on a full day excursion.”
