“It's actually a yacht! Lots of room, lovely service. Snacks were light and delicious!! Instructional were clear and meet up was really easy. Boat is pretty smooth but you do get the feel of the ocean, which I love! Fantastic sunset pictures! I sat on top right side and that was perfect and always close to shore for awesome pictures. Even got extra local recommendations from the tour guide!”
