“Absolutely gorgeous sunset and setting. The boat was somewhat smaller than we'd expected and the Captain worked very hard to ensure he was sailing and hosting us with appetizers and wine but it was not easy and my husband assisted as needed. The Captain was beyond accommodating and gracious. While it would've been nice to have another person on board to help sail and serve, there would've been no room.”
