it was a pleasure taking you qnd your friend on a sunset Charter .. beautiful pictures thank you Capt. Pat
From meeting for a short walk to the boat to a trip that went to wherever we wanted, this was an excellent time. Captain Pat is personable and knowledgeable. His boat is comfortable and he made sure we saw dolphins and had a perfect viewing spot for the sunset. We’ll be back!

what a great group you guys were thank you for the very nice five star review look forward to your next trip Captain Pat
Our group of 4 had a great sunset cruise with Captain Pat. He allowed us to choose what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go with our charter. He provided excellent knowledge of the area and made the trip very fun! We loved seeing the dolphins and sticking around after sunset to see the skyline turn pink. Would definitely recommend Captain Pat for your next private charter
