You will see millionaire homes, the port, and downtown skyline from the water. A cash bar is available, and the smaller boat holds up to 45 people. Arrive early for the best seats.

“The people are nice they try to make it fun with music and things, but the way the boat is set up that unless you get the chairs that are without anyone in front you can’t really see well. They make you sit down so a lot of the homes I couldn’t see because of the seat I sat on. And we picked seat by the side and people kept getting up and blocking our view. The drinks were 25 dollars and popcorn was 13 so things on the boat are highly overpriced. You should not go on any tour after 3pm because the homes they showed more than half…”

“The trip was supposed to leave at 10:30am. We were asked to be here early and when we got here, they said departure at 11:30. When we came back they changed it again to 12:00pm. The boat didn't leave the dock until 12:30pm. A guest we met on the boat got a drink and it cost $35. I'm so disappointed 😞 Do not waste your time. It seems their time is more precious than their guests!”
