Outstanding crew, positive attitude extremely knowledgeable excellent navigation great with children, we went for the fireworks knew exactly where to go and the experience was one for the books! They took photos of our family, they were great with communication, the sound system is incredible, very attentive bringing drinks and helping with every little detail. First class top shelf service and this is coming from someone who owns a Fleet of airplanes and my own boat in the Keys. They also have a larger boat which I didn't know about at the time but will definitely Charter on our next visit. Love love this team!
