Poor

I do not feel like the captain Wayne was very welcoming, seemed like everything was super strict, and nothing fun about the “party boat”. There were no floats (although we only stopped to use the bathroom twice and to get gas), no ice initially provided until we got gas (which I didn’t know was a part of the trip), no water offered or provided as mentioned on the reminder text, and we were not able to get off the boat due to the choppy seas, which was what we were looking forward to. It seemed like we kept driving in a figure 8 as we continued to look at the same views for the four hour duration. We asked to go back to our pick up spot sooner than the tour ended because it was just boring to keep circling around the same areas. The captain mentioned that it wasn’t safe to go where we could have gotten off, although he still offered us to. He was also yelling at someone who was fishing off a dock where we stopped to use the bathroom because he stated they were not supposed to be fishing in that area, although they disagreed with him. Additionally, it seemed like we played musical chairs on the boat as the captain had requested us to shift seats at least three times because of the weight differences. I truly did not enjoy the party boat experience. Maybe it was the captain maybe it was the type of day as far as the weather went… I was just really looking for a better experience on my birthday for my friends and I to enjoy.

Best Captain out there!!

Came out with some friends and had an absolute blast. We are University of Tampa students and these guys know how to party. Damon could run a fun trip with families or rage with the best of us. 10 out of 10
