Beautiful day on the water! - We had the most amazing adventure on the catamaran. Andrew and Mitchell were wonderful, kind, hospitable, and easy going. Our group had the best day out on the water. The boat was beautiful and the food was delicious.

Great trip - Great trip. Crew were very nice and informative. So many times you get on a boat and are afraid to move or touch anything. The captain and first mate were awesome and made us feel comfortable from the beginning of our voyage. Highly recommend.

Perfectly Windy Day! - Nice, windy day, so we tacked about 7-8 times and flew along!
Got to sit forward on deck.
Just don't forget to duck!

Sailing and good times - We had a wonderful time. Nice little sail around. Wish it were a bit longer but we did enjoy. Margaret was absolutely phenomenal! She told lots of historical facts and made it interesting. A hard worker as well.

Nice tour - The tour itself was fantastic. The captain and first mate were very knowledgeable. The boat probably has plenty of space during the summer months, however when it’s cold, packing 12 people on the back where they can actually hear the tour is extremely tight. Maybe if they had a speaker on the front where people could have sat up there would have been better.
