Seamless and relatively affordable boating experience in Dana Point. Captain Steve made it so easy. No-nonsense or dilly-dallying starting our excursion!!! We had a blast. Regretfull that I didn’t ask Noah to crank up the speed for a bit!! We will definitely be back!!!
Really easy to arrange. Super friendly captain (Noah). Would highly recommend
