Great Views

Published on Mar, 2025

Views were amazing, and the drinks just kept coming! Be sure to bring a swim suite and maybe a light jacket since it did get a little chilly.

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a great time on this cruise! The drinks and food were delicious and a great addition to the evening. The staff was friendly and the sunset was beautiful! The only challenge was finding the marina, as the route that our Uber drive took per the directions provided was not open to vehicular traffic.
