We had booked a boat ride for a Bachelorette Weekend and we were very excited! The weather was beautiful, and us gals had a lovely time. Unfortunately we didn't have a good experience due to our Captain and his lack of attention to details and interest over all.

This was my 2nd time out on a Staying Afloat charter - the first time we had Captain Eric and this most recent time had Captain Greg and both were amazing! The boats are nice and big - plenty of space for when you're on board. Having the two floaties is a huge bonus for when you get to where you're going.
