The captain and crew were super nice people. The boat was comfortable. I love boats and being on the water so my opinion may be a bit biased. I did enjoy the trip and I would recommend it to some. All-in-all the tour is not great because the subject area (points of interest) is not that interesting. Had I been sitting on a bus rather than the boat I would have said the tour is terrible.
