This was a very nice experience. The boat ride was smooth and there were no issues. The customer service was amazing. He was a very personable young man that is was very helpful. I would definitely recommend this activity and company.

I had an awesome experience. Glen our dock hand was the best. He made the ride stress free, and was very helpful when docking since we had not operated a boat before. 10/10 would recommend.

I saw them on Insta. Had it saved for a special occasion and today was that day. My dad turned 78 and wanted to get out on a boat. It was easy to book and everything went smooth. It was my son’s first time on a boat.

Rented this little dingy for a nice birthday celebration for my wife. The patron was helpful in guiding us to the location along with his pre use information. The boat itself was nice. I think it needs a little bit more power to be able to enjoy the full scenic boundaries... With stopping to eat our lunch, we did not have enough remaining time to visit further along the river so that was cut short because we had to return to the docks in the allotted time... Overall the experience was lovely, I would definitely rent again and recommend to others...
