This was the first most worst experience of my life, we didn’t get on a boat at our booking time. We waited hours for a boat and they close at 9. They were taking people that weren’t there before us. Just so unpleasant
I paid for a self boat ride they never sent over to confirm my reservation so I travel from Delaware to Washington DC for nothing then they wanted me to double pay after I’ve already paid and it was my husband birthday
The actual boat experience was great! Steering can be a little challenging at first, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes fairly easy and enjoyable. My main concern was with the logistics and overall organization. I arrived 15 minutes early for my scheduled time but ended up waiting approximately an hour due to an emergency involving another boat. There appeared to be only one staff member managing all of the appointments, which made the wait feel especially long and tiring, particularly given how hot it was that day. Unfortunately, there was no shaded waiting area, water provided, or other accommodation offered for the extended delay. Overall, I enjoyed the boat experience itself, but I would recommend booking an earlier time slot if possible. Later appointments may be more likely to experience delays, and waiting for an extended period in the heat can take away from an otherwise enjoyable experience.
Everything was smooth, even the parking instructions. Only thing is the timing and the person coming to get you from the gate. It was almost 100 degree and we had to stand and wait for about 30mins until we could actually get to the boat.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this service based on my experience really a bad... bad experience
It was fire… we ate crabs and relaxed definitely recommend..!!! Easy to operate definitely would suggest getting a cover for extra small fee…
