Absolutely fantastic tour
2 Hour – Sightseeing Tour - 10:00 AM on August 25, 20262 adults

We had a perfect day on the water. Captain Matt was very responsive when setting the trip up and helping us navigate getting on board. Our group was just my husband and I and our goldendoodle ( her first boat ride!). It was a gorgeous day and Matt took us to see all the coolest coatline spots. Our ride was 2 hours and it flew by. The views were fantastic and Matt was so knowledgeable about the history of the Harbor. We will definitely do this again!
