We had a great time. The crew was friendly and funny. Our weather provided a beautiful sunset and we were able to spot lots of dolphins! We would do this again!

A Fun Way to Start the Evening
PaulC10042, October 2026
5 Stars overall: Very enjoyable cruise. Approx 90 minutes total. Captain Morgan (yes, that's his name) was enjoyable to listen too. Customer service on the day prior was excellent. Spoke with Madison concerning cancellation for fear of rain, which thankfully never came. Our cruise was Sept. 3, 2026
The ship itself is a double decker with bathrooms for those who need it. No food is served on board. He did make water available.
The one very small / nitpicky problem we had, is once we were at the Baytowne Marina dock, we couldn't find exactly where to check in. The sign was small, but we found it with very little effort. The check in point is right at the side of the Marina Bar and Grill.
This brings me to my next point, which is when we finished our 530 cruise, we walked right over to the Marina Grill and had dinner, which was convenient.
