Excellent skipper
A guide/ skipper makes the huge difference of your experience. Tony was excellent, very kind, nice and not overwhelming person, who felt our group before even we have asked a question or suggestion. We had a private tour. Highly recommended.

Tony is a wonderful boat guide! Ask for him!
This is a totally customizable boat tour! The itinerary that our captain had was really great so we did not change anything but we could have if we wanted to. Our Captain was Tony. He was really friendly, very flexible, and answered lots of questions, shared some fun stories, sent us to a great fish restaurant for lunch, and made sure our experience was top notch. He also dropped us close to our accommodations on the way back. Worth every penny! Ask for Tony, for sure!
