Great trip with kids! - Great boat ride! I went with my 2 & 6 year old, and this was the perfect boat trip. Good length, interesting things to look at (my son loved all the navy boats) and a safe boat fo my 2 year old to explore. The captan provided interesting information and the boarding process was easy.

90 minute tour - Took my wife on the cruise. It was great! Entertaining and informative. Best part of the cruise is the Captain was pointing out places to go such as restaurants and hotels. Was great to see naval battleships. Also it was nice to hear a bit of history. Highly recommended.
