Relaxing and Informative

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon cruise on the River, passing by Chevron Island, Paradise Waters and the Broadwater. Jason was a very informative and friendly Captain, along with Charlise in the Bar serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks with a friendly smile, it was a nice way to see some sights from the harbour side. Very affordable and Highly recommended.

Afternoon Canal Cruise

We went on a windy day but still very enjoyable. The captain and crew were excellent and very helpful with any questions. Recommended for leisurely cruise from Cavill ave out to SeaWorld and back. Bonus cheese and crackers free and drinks at reasonable prices
