We were on vacation celebrating our Anniversary. Had a great time viewing the coastline, sea lions and just the brilliant sky and ocean currents. Just a memorable experience. Highly recommend.

So good we went sunset then next day in the afternoon loved it
Had a great time on Capitan Kirk's yacht, Kirk and his crew were very pleasant and tried to find us a group of dolphins while out at sea but no luck this time.
Thank you for joining us! We are so glad you had a great time with Captain Kirk and the crew. While the dolphins were a bit shy that day, we appreciate you coming aboard and hope you'll cruise with us again for another chance to spot them!

We were disappointed in the narrative yacht tour. The operator hardly said anything. An occasional here is this & that....no interesting history along the shore line. Why say narrative yacht tour if you're not going to talk about the sites.
Thank you for your feedback, Bea. We're sorry the tour didn't meet your expectations and appreciate you sharing your experience.
