Captain Eric and his boat were both wonderful. Captain Eric was both knowledgeable of sailing and made our whole group more than comfortable. His playlist was outstanding as our entire group had a great time!
Thank you for your review. I hope you enjoyed the free fruit and cheese plate. Sailing was about as good as it gets... happy 😄.
Had a two hour sail. Very relaxing and captain was great. Would recommend.
Thanks David for your booking and kind review.
