Captain Chuck and his first mate, aka wife, were great! We had an amazing day on the water and at Crab Island. Chuck parked us in a great location and put out all the fun toys for us to enjoy. They were very knowledgeable about the area and what's offered at Crab Island which made the experience even better. The boat was beautiful and well maintained so our ride out and back was comfortable and smooth. They were both great hosts to share the trip with and took excellent care of us and our belongings. We will definitely be back for another adventure with them!

Perfect day! Not too long but not too short with the 3hrs with our 4 year old. Bo our captain was chill and perfect, took great care of us. We ended up having the boat to ourselves, totally worth the price. Everything else way too expensive or way too long! Water floats were nice and boat was clean and well kept! Would definitely book again!
