Perfect tour with an enjoyable lunch.

The luncheon tour was great. The food, service and ambience was first class. The explanation as we sailed through the 1000 island was perfect. Interesting but not overdone as we enjoyed a leisurely lovely meal.

Perfect!

I was apprehensive, because I am not big on sharing a table with people I don’t know. No need to worry, the set up was perfect and they had tables staggered so you weren’t right next to each other. The servers all worked together to make serving us seem flawless. The food was delicious from the surprise cheese and wine platter that awaited us at our table and continued with every course that followed. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a beautiful afternoon relaxing and enjoying delicious cuisine!

Lunch cruise was great and worth it!

We had the lunch cruise from Kimgston and it was great! The lunch was good food, the tour was knowledgeable and pointed out lots to look at and take pictures. We would highly recommend this and the extra lunch cost is really not that bad at all.

A relaxing afternoon on the water

Excellent commentary as we sailed and nice music (singer playing six string guitar.) Plenty of shade and a small but nice upper observation deck. Service was very friendly but I found the meal disappointing. Would have preferred a simple sandwich and fruit to a heavy meal.

Panoramic

The music and tour were good. My only complaint is air-conditioning. Air was not on during the boat being docked and took a while to cool down the inside once going. Hot day.
