Daughters and I enjoyed being on the water in New England for the 4th! Great way to get a taste of the area and be on the boat each night. Captain Aaron was very accommodating and has an obvious pride in his boat and his multiple roles as Captain, Chef, Deck Hand, Bar back and Concierge! When can we get back on the water??!!
so glad you and the girls were my 1st new england guests! had such a great time. hope to see you all onboard again soon!
