Fun family activity! - Fun activity to do with the family. The time itself was a bit short to see enough. It could take a little longer so we could get more out of this activity.

Super fun little adventure - It was a great way to see the homes and yachts on the Intercoastal. Spencer was very friendly and helpful. The boat is easy to operate. There wasn’t a lot of traffic on the Intercoastal which was nice. You can see lots of beautiful homes and yachts while puttering along.

Mini adventure - Got a little wet from wakes from the other boats. We are from MN and it was cool. The staff was nice and the event was good.

Do it! - Very simple instructions, ease of getting on and off the craft, you will get a little wet, best to do this late morning, early afternoon or the water may make you cold. The instructor was AMAZING!

Mini boat. BIG fun - Tyler and the crew were so friendly and helpful. We had the best time cruising along and admiring all the boats in town. We could have stayed out there all day. Would absolutely do this again.

Cool experience - It’s not on the description but you purchase 1 ticket for 2 passengers. You don’t need to buy 2 tickets for you and 2nd person! The experience was fun for an hour (there’s a longer one too) but we got lost on the way back and had to use our phone map to help us get back! They do provide a map to take but it was not helpful coming back. It was helpful starting out though. There’s no directional signs while you’re out on the boat. Can’t go too fast and need to try your best to stay to the right because there are larger boats that will pass you. The scenery is gorgeous! The houses look amazing. Workers were nice and did the boat license for you.
