"Excellent"
“Captain Rob took out our group of 12 on a stunning Sunday morning and we had a lovely time. captain rob was full of stories and information. The boat was clean and smooth. We had one elderly passage and Captain Rob was kind and solicitous in making sure she was well cared for. We’d go out with him again for sure!” – Lisa O.
