Fun water experience at Crab Island and scenic ride with dolphins to our destination. Crew was super!Posted on Rebecca WardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely had the greatest day of our lives on Taylor and Cole's boat for Claire’s bachelorette party! From start to finish, they were incredibly chill and attentive, making sure our hands were never empty and that the Rumplemintz kept flowing. Their focus on safety was top-notch, giving us peace of mind while we enjoyed the day. They even went above and beyond to retrieve a lost hat for the bride, which was such a thoughtful touch! I can't recommend them enough. I would pay five times the amount to have this experience again with these amazing guys.

After booking, you’ll receive a list of captains familiar with our vessels; each is highly experienced and great with groups.

You may have 13 passengers total (you + 12 guests).

Definitely! Bring all the food, snacks, and drinks you want. We’ve provide large coolers filled with ice, and catering is also available for catamaran charters.
For safety, please use plastic bottles or containers; no glass on the boat.
Can we bring alcohol on the boat?

- Standard Cancellation: Full refunds are available with at least 30 days’ written notice prior to your scheduled charter.
- Trip Protection Option: Guests may purchase our Trip Protection Policy for $75, which allows cancellation for any reason up to 72 hours before your charter for a full refund.

Are there life jackets on the boat?
Yes, there are Coast Guard-required life jackets on our boats.

The Coast Guard-approved ones may not be the most comfortable for small children.
How much should I tip the captain and crew?
Your crew works very hard to make sure you have an enjoyable and safe experience on the water. A 20% tip is the minimum amount suggested.
