- Captain Sam was great! Good group, great for kids, not to long, reasonable price. Your feet will get wet getting into the boat, but other than that it was easy-peasey.

Nice & Chill - Pretty cool/chill boat ride. Our time slot was the last ride out but we arrived early & we’re allowed to board on the earlier boat. Didn’t see much, a few fish but it was a nice experience for my 9 year old as that was his first time on a boat. He enjoyed it, so that’s all that matters! Crew was nice & knowledgeable
