Friendly crew and a very pleasant, well-organized sail. Even though it was rainy when we boarded, which forced a slight delay in our sailing, the crew made sure we made the most of the experience. The food was good, music pleasant, and the drinks well made. There also seemed to be plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Had a great time!

It was a very nice romantic ride out. They kept the drinks flowing, music was nice, saxophone not the best but wasn't bad. My wife loved the slow dance at the end when the captain told everyone to get up and dance. Well worth a trip with your significant other. Food was good, steak well seasoned, garlic butter for the lobster.

All right, hola frontierThis is a must do experience! The staff was fantastic, the food was delicious, the drinks were unlimited and the ambience was incredible. So you got a full course meal, all you can drink and beautiful view and a staff that went over and beyond to serve and please you! We were celebrating 34 years of marriage! I will definitely do it again when we come!

Great food and fun...

Cara_C, Apr 2026

Great food and fun atmosphere. It was a rainy day so time up on deck was a little limited but was still fun with a beautiful sunset. The staff did comment quite a lot about the fact my husband and I brought our teenage kiddos but hey I paid for the tickets! Also, I did think the food was quite good.

Don't go for the food.

Delores_P, Feb 2026

The experience was really cool, however we are foodies and the food was terrible. We were not asked how we wanted our steak cooked, it came well done. I eat medium rare. It was bland and lacking any flavor. Very disappointed. But the music was awesome and the host was pleasant.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hello Delores, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the music and that the host helped create a pleasant atmosphere during the evening. We are sorry to learn that the food did not meet your expectations.

It’s a scam!!!

Darryl_M, Oct 2025

They were a no-show picking us up. First they told me I had the wrong time. I was in the hotel lobby at 3:55pm for a 4 pm ride. Then I was told I wasn’t supposed to be picked up till 4:25pm. After I called the second time, I was told the driver was there but couldn’t find us in the lobby. We were the only people in the Libby and I wax wearing bright orange. This company is not legitimate. When asked to reschedule, after paying $250, they wanted more money before they would give me a pick up time. ITS A SCAM!!!!!

Wonderful evening onboard the Columbus!

Cheri_B, Oct 2025

We had a fabulous time on board the Columbus! Pick up and drop off well organized. Definitely romantic, dinner was delicious, music compliments the whole experience, and beverages were flowing! Highly recommend!

Amazing and romantic

Ashley_A, Jun 2025

Pay for the pit up at your hotel, it might be hard to find if you drive yourself. It was a nice experience the meal in drinks were good.

The staff made the trip a wonderful experience!

marisa_l, Jan 2025

Wonderful experience! Sergio and his crew made sure we had a fantastic evening! They were very attentive to all of our needs! We took our elderly parents who needed help getting on the Columbus and down the dock by wheelchair. It was windy and drizzling rain, but they made sure everything was perfect! They brought us blankets and helped us get seated and kept the night full of fun and excitement!

A Must Do Activity

Amadea_C, Jan 2025

Phenomenal! Well worth the money. Sergio and his team made the entire experience not only inclusive but fun. Would definitely recommend. 10/10

Romantic cruise

James_C, Dec 2024

Very romantic cruise. Very relaxing and the music was great. The food was good also. Service was very friendly and we would recommend this cruise for anyone.

Not worth

Steven_M, Oct 2024

The vegetarian option was very disappointing and it cost more for some reason. The boat ride was far too long having more than an hour and a half sitting on the boat with just the guy playing the saxophone here and there. After eating fell asleep because took so long to get back. No Hennessy was available. Seats very very uncomfortable, no cushions, just your bum on the wood bench.

Very Romantic Dinner Cruise

Patrice_W, Oct 2024

The whole experience was very romantic. We were each handed drinks as soon as we boarded (Rum Punch or Pina Colada’s) and the drinks kept coming via our waiter after that with an open bar. The saxophonist was amazing with his beautiful love songs he played. The three course meal was good for the price. The host was charming and funny. He insisted we all get up on the dance floor while he had us all hold our partners tight and look into their eyes and slow dance to a romantic song. Then he told us to close our eyes and when we opened them on the top of the sail was a lite up white heart with the word LOVE in the middle.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

We had a wonder time on this dinner cruise. The drinks and food was very tasteful. I believe the best part was the saxophonist creating a really romantic atmosphere.
