    Great Booze Cruise for Bachlorette Group

    5 Hour – Beach Bar Booze & Lunch • 6 adults

    we had a great time on the cruise. the captain Larry was so kind and helpful throughout the trip. He took us to multiple beach bars with flexibility in how we wanted to spend our time. He woukd keep us posted on how much time we should spend in each place over the cruise while also letting us spend more time at the places we enjoyed. we enjoyed crusing through the bright blue pensacola water and enjoying the sunshine. He was a great host and I would reccomend this for any small group of about 4-6 people! It gave us a great taste of the alabama/florida pan handle!

    Response from Captain

    Blue Angels Experience

    3 Hour – Blue Angels Practice Shows • 2 adults

    Overall, the captain was fantastic and very accommodating. Unfortunately, we were unable to see the Blue Angels practice due to a last-minute cancellation, and the weather also prevented us from seeing any dolphins. While the crew did their best, the overall experience was just okay.

    Response from Captain

    I would have to agree it was very unfortunate the blue angels canceled 2 minutes before the anticipated flight times. There were many disappointed people as a result of this cancellation. However, as stated weather and fog are huge factors and we drove nearly 15 miles looking for dolphin activity. We cannot contol either situation and apologize for your disappointment. We do appreciate you
