Beautiful cruise through the bay!
Paradise Grill Lunch/Dinner on July 29, 20262 adults

Our trip was exactly what we hoped for, it was just right. The ride was fun, the boat gorgeous and the surroundings so peaceful. Since we took the lunch cruise, there has to be a mention for the restaurant. The food was tasty and the service was on point.
