    ✨ What a magical experience! ✨

    The dinner cruise exceeded my expectations. The food was outstanding, expertly prepared by the chef and full of flavor. The live music created the perfect atmosphere while we enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the water. The evening was topped off with a spectacular fireworks display that made the experience even more memorable.

    The service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone had a wonderful time. Everything was well organized, and the entire evening felt special. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend this dinner cruise to anyone looking for a great night out!

    Captain and crew: 5 stars. Comfort, equipment, and boat: 4 stars. Food: 3 stars (last couple burgers were very undercooked, and there was only enough food for one sandwich each when it was billed as “eat all you want” — maybe not a big deal for most, but be aware of this if you have some big eaters). Snorkeling: ZERO stars…we expected to be taken to a reef area where we could see a variety of fish. Instead, we were taken to a spot with a lot of boat traffic (hence churned up water), with just a lot of catfish…per the crew, that’s all they ever see in this location and the water clarity is always poor. It was like snorkeling in someone’s dirty backyard pond. We were extremely disappointed. This charter should book it as a nice sail and lunch with a stop for swimming, not as a “snorkeling” trip — set accurate expectations and you won’t have disappointed customers.

    First time on a sunset dinner cruise and had the best experience! The staff and captain were friendly, the music was fabulous, the food was delicious and the views were gorgeous. Can't wait to go again!

    The couple who run the trips were friendly and very safety conscious. The lunch was great and we had a great time. We highly recommend taking a cruise with this company!

    Twas worth it. Food was good. The crew was attentive. View and the musician's voice made it extra special. I suggest make a QR code for the tip. Not a lot of people carry money now a days.

    We got to bring our own beer! The grilled shrimp was my favorite. Hubby and I decided to celebrate our anniversary and the musician dedicated a song to us. We appreciated the crew’s work! ❤️❤️

    This was our first time doing this cruise. There were about 20 people in total. It was a good size crowd, and the boat did not feel overcrowded. The dinner cruise tour was nice but not what i expected. The views were nice just different than expected. The tour does not go out into the bay. No use of sail, all motor and it follows the shoreline about 100 feet out. It was nice, just not what we expected.

    The food was fine; it was actually better than expected. There was plenty of grilled shrimp, chicken fajita, beef fajita, grilled catfish, and tortillas (corn and flour), cheese, salsas, and jalapenos. The jalapenos were really good and had some heat.

    The staff and musician were excellent. In the end it was a nice experience.
