Great experience. I thought it said 7-9. It was more like 7-8:20. So while the cruise was nice/entertaining, I expected it to be a little longer.
The boat was smaller than expected but not overly crowded. Bar prices somewhat high. Would suggest Corona beer and Knob Creek whiskey. Music was ok.
It was cancelled due to weather. She called us and let us know early, which was really nice. She said she would contact you (viator) to say it was cancelled.
Great experience and loved the sunset. Musician was fabulous and drinks were good. Treated my daughter while visiting here and created great memories.
Unfortunately it started raining and did not do a full boat ride and didn’t see sunset. The captin was putting safety first they offered a rebook or refund or a drink from the bar.. since we were leaving the next morning we took the drink😊. The live music was great and so was the crew.
The captains were ABSOLUTELY incredible! They were conversational, knowledgeable, funny and showed us an amazing time. However, the bar service was a complete vibe killer. It took 30+ minutes to get anything from the bar. Our whole group didn’t get a drink or anything until the boat ride was basically over. They really need to ether hire a new bartender or get her support. To make it worse after we waited 30+ mins we finally got to front and she said “I’m going to go take sunset pictures” it will be one minute. That really made us feel completely disregarded.
We had a great time on the cruise! Beautiful sites of the Riverwalk and sunset! The live music and service were both great! I would definitely do this cruise again!
Unfortunately we did not make it in time to get on the cruise. The location was confusing and considering we were dining not far from where it was supposed to embark, we should not have missed it. Tried to contact the cruise company but no response.
Great to get out on the water and the staff were amazing. Phenomenal sunsets! The only downside was if you were hoping to gain any information from the captain’s narrative, you couldn’t hear because the speakers were not loud enough. Otherwise, a great trip
So glad you enjoyed our sunset cruise. So sorry to know you couldn’t hear the captain. This cruise is not usually narrated. Although captain and crew may point out things of interest, like eagles, alligators, dolphins. Sunset cruises are generally a kick back relax, enjoy a beverage and amazing sunset. Each Capt. and crew have their own playlist for background music and everyone is welcome to get up and move around the boat and talk to the crew..
The tour was a bit different than expected. The captain's time was monopolised by a single guest so there wasn't much in the way of a guided commentary tour. The local musician on board was not really entertaining and sounded more like a karaoke singer than an paid entertainer. The sunset portion turned to be outstanding despite the cloud cover with an array colours and photo opps. If you go do not let the factors other than the amazing sunsets distract from the actual sunset.
Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Our sunset cruises with live music are not narrated. And yes every now and then a cruise goes spends alot of time talking to captain. One thing to know is our captain Mate and Bartender are all well-versed and knowledgeable of the area we cruise in and are fun to talk with. Our musicians are all local. Most of them are singers and songwriters, and will combine music you know along with their own music. We have over a dozen different musicians that play on board at different times playing different genres of music.. We do agree that the sunsets are great photo ops! Thanks for choosing to cruise with us. Hope you’ll check out one of our daily Eagle Island cruises that are narrated Eco history.
