We rented out a private cruise for a bachelorette. Communication was great leading up to our cruise everyone helpful answering all of my questions. Neil was a great captain and we all had a great time cruising around the bay despite the weather!

This was a cute little boating experience. Our captain was friendly and helped us have a good time, despite the rainy weather. We hooked up our music and brought some drinks to enjoy. I had hoped we could have seen a bit more of the bay or even the pretty landscape of Portland. But rather, we mostly cruised down a river with sub-par views. However, we saw so many seals! Great experience for those looking to kick back and have a fun time on the water. Might avoid if you are looking for more of a sight-seeing experience.
