Loved it!
Sarah_M, October 2026
We had the best time! The dock location is easy to find (definitely recommend parking across the street in the public lot which is a super quick walk and avoid paying $20 an hour to park at the marina!) The boat we rented was nice, spacious, and clean. Simon, our captain, was AMAZING!!!! He was so friendly, laidback, gave great tidbits of info about the area and homes we boated past, took us to the sandbar and set up the floating dock pad in the water for us; he was the best! I definitely recommend booking with this company, and if you’re able, choose Simon as the captain for your tour, you won’t be disappointed.
Response from the operator · Jose B Thank you so much for your detailed and wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had the best time and found the dock location convenient—great tip about the public parking lot across the street!
It's good to know that you hired a great captain for the tour.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day on the water!
