Full Day Captain Andrew
8 Hr – Private Boat Charter - 9:00 AM on June 30, 2026
An absolute wonderful experience! Highly recommend! Starfish and Smiles was exceptional- from the booking to boating- literally zero hassle (which I LOVE!) "Captain Andrew" was GREAT! He was so accommodating with our large family group- as we all have VERY different levels of experience. (He was so kind and reassuring when it came to giving instructions- especially for those of us who were terrified!) Felt my family was in safe knowledgeable hands the entire time (and that is hard to come by these days.) Hands down great company! -Literally the highlight of our vacation.
