This was a good time.
travissD682GL, August 2026
The cruise was awesome, the crew was amazing and super friendly. Very down to earth and didn’t act like they were bored with a bunch of tourists. The sail boat was a lot less crowded than their other boats and we still got to see a lot of dolphins. I really appreciate Johnny, Giselle, and Elena. Looking forward to talking about high dollar Nikon glass again. Thank you all so much if you guys read this.
Response from the operator · lisagay44 Travis, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are happy to hear you really enjoyed your time with Captain Jonny and his Crew. We will definitely let the crew know. We hope to see you again soon.
