Here’s what recent guests have said about the experience:

This was amazing. So much fun and so informative!

Every time I do something like this, I learn more, and I’ve been learning and teaching about the Bay for a long time. I liked the cheerful friendliness of the staff and was impressed with the captain’s knowledge.
