This was a great afternoon/evening! The number of people on the cruise was appropriate to the catamaran so that we didn't feel crowded at all. The crew were very friendly and helpful and the barbeque meal was very good too. Read more

Tips for future travelers

Note that the shuttle that picks you up can take about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to get to the loading dock and another 1 1/2 to 2 hours to drop off, if your hotel is far like ours was. Our 4 hour cruise took 8 hours with the transportation. We were the first ones picked up and last ones dropped off.

It can take almost 2 hours from the time you’re picked up at the hotel to docking if your hotel is far because many others are picked up along the way. It also takes over an hour to be dropped off. We spent almost as long on the shuttle than we did in the boat.
