An affordable hour on the water
Teri_J
, May 2022
If you just want to get out on the water for an hour this is an affordable and fairly comfortable way to do it. Nothing was seen in the glass boxes or just looking out. The crew person said they saw a turtle. It was like turtle, turtle gone. I don’t think anyone saw it. The captain was actually full of information when he wasn’t on his phone or vaping.

It was a wonderful experience to see and feel the wonders of the sea. To be able to see all the beaches and the surfers. All those black fishes following us and at the end a couple of turtles saying goodbye to us. Wonderful
