We were doing a sunset journey away from land to show respects to our loved ones who passed. Captain James was respectful, flexible, and recommended a location that worked perfectly for us. He is a great pilot and navigator.

Went with my wife and kids and loved it. James showed everything to us and took us to great spot. Unfortunately we only were able to caught 2 fish. Would surely do this again

The captain was very knowledgeable nice and had good equipment me and my family loved every second of the tour very fun and great experience we will definitely be back
Beautiful sunset cruise. Captain Jamie was great. Gave us lots of info on local sites and was very entertaining.
