Relaxing Evening - What a pleasant evening from start to finish! The tour company and their employees were very organized and pleasant. The boat was well maintained and clean with comfortable seating. Our cruise around the bay was totally enjoyable. We would happily take this trip again on a future TC visit!

Beautiful crew and view - Captain Jack and his crew were fabulous! Our mother is elderly and in a wheelchair and they all worked together to help her get on and off the ship safely. The variety of beverages and snacks were a plus. The sunset sail was very relaxing and highly recommended. Thank you Discovery!!!

Sunset Cruise - It would have been nicer to travel a little closer to the shore line. So you could see the beautiful houses along the shores.

Great sunset cruise! - We had a wonderful time! It was a perfect evening for a sunset cruise. The only reason why we gave 4 stars is there is not enough outdoor seating.
