“SO MUCH FUN I wish I could do this every day of my life. It did take a while to get us all on the boat though and they ended up pushing back our departure 30 minutes so we still got a full 2 hours on the boat however I would definitely keep that in mind in case you are making a dinner reservation hour or something. Also our boat ended up departing at 6:30 and it was the perfect timing for the sunset in early October.”
