We just got off the 3pm afternoon cruise. It was absolutely wonderful. Our guide Patrick was informative and entertaining. So happy we decided to take this tour.

Dan was a great tour guide and we had a fantastic time. The boat view of the area was great and we enjoyed the additional perspective and stories of the area.

Perfect way to explore the beautiful harbor and learn about the history of the island, the architecture and the coastal culture. The 1969 lobster boat is in perfect condition and the crew is top notch- professional, friendly, knowledgeable- even sprinkling in personal stories and humor. They are first class. Thank you to our captain Miles, our hostess/server Hannah and our storytelling tour guides Dan & Chris. Highly recommend this experience!

A nice relaxing boat ride. Dave has a great sense of humor. Would definitely recommend especially with that price. Booking was easy and they communicate with you. They even called a couple hours before our cruise to remind us of parking.
