We had a wonderful experience with our family of 6! The captain had great communication with me, we had to reachedule our ride and he was great giving advice on when we should reachedule for, base on the activities we wanted to do with the kids. While on the boat, he was great with the kids and we were able to fish, swim, and see some sea life!
