Will do it again! - We enjoyed the tour so much. The weather was beautiful (I was afraid we were going to be cold and had a blanket with us). We had some drinks on the boat, listened to the stories Lee told us and had a really nice time. We saw dolphins as well, which was fun and totally surprising. Will definitely do the tour again next time we are in town.

Great experience, well worth the cost. - Fantastic experience. If you're someone who loves folklore but not jumpscares this is the tour for you. Both the captain and the narrator were great. My friends and I had a blast just sitting back and listening to tales in the dark, on a boat, at night.

Interesting - The person telling the stories was excellent. You could tell she knew them and believed them not a memorialized script. Made the stories come to life!

Fun but a little pricey - Cool stories but a bit pricey for what it was. Stories only lasted about 2/3 of the time then just silence on the way back. Fair priced drinks but nothing included.

Know before you go. - The tour was wonderful, but I was surprised there was a fussy baby on a night boat. It made me very nervous. People also need to know that they expect your there 30 minutes before they leave. We did not know this until we got a text only 90 minutes before they wanted us there. We had to skip dinner and really rush! Then, we had to wait for latecomers anyways.
