A wonderful experience!...

Nick_M, Mar 2026

A wonderful experience! Small business and locally managed - Damien was extremely knowledgeable and very social. Loved the size of the boat - don’t be concerned that it is small - it’s a great intimate experience with a group of 6, easy to get in and out and very comfy!

Serene and Enjoyable Cruise

Mary_F, Mar 2026

The gondola ride was quiet and allowed us to get a close and view the beautiful homes and yachts while perusing the channels and intercoastal waters. Our French captain provided champagne and comfortable seating under a protective canopy so that you can enjoy the breeze and views. Traveling with friends made this enjoyable to still have a conversation along with our libations.

Very pleasant

Tatiana_M, Dec 2025

This trip along the river was very pleasant and relaxing. I recommend this activity to other travelers.

Great night out

Jenny_G, Nov 2025

We booked this for a birthday and had a fabulous time! Damien kept in good communication beforehand with texts, which was great. It’s byob and snacks, but he had all the other necessities on board for convenience. The boat itself is so cute and made for a charming ride on the water. Definitely book this for a memorable night out!
