Featured review

Jamie_Y

The crew on this boat are top notch. They have this trip down - very professional. We didn’t see a ton of fish, but it’s still worth going. The buffet breakfast and lunch were good. The only heads up - our boat had 54 people on board, which made it feel crowded at times.

Crew was fantastic. Friendly, kind, thoughtful. Boat was very comfortable. Plenty of seats, shade if you wanted it. We were lucky to see humpbacks spouting and sea turtles.

I paid for a snorkel picture package. Tommy said I would receive an e-mail within a day or two. I haven’t seen it yet. Can I get an update on my picture package. Carol_e_ogle@homedepot .Com
