2 Hour Trip – Sunset Cruise!
We had the best time with Tyler and would highly recommend Born and Raised Charters! The highlight of our trip was seeing dolphins and once spotted, Tyler picked up speed and had them jumping in our wake. It was amazing! Overall, Tyler was friendly, easy to talk to and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip with him!
