Nasco was easy to work with and even provided my wife and I with a surprise upgrade for our Anniversary! Our Captain was also fantastic and went above and beyond!

The boat was in great condition and had a good (loud) stereo so we didn't have to use our tiny portable one. the experience was great and I definitely recommend the fireworks cruise.

So so fun for a bunch of 30 year olds! There was a little confusion on the morning of- the owner got confused and accidentally canceled the booking. But he was very communicative with the technical error and really great to work with. Great bang for your buck!

The boat was great and spacious for all 10 of us. We had a wonderful day on the water, and our Captian Walter was so fun and nice. Highly recommend!
