The sunset bay boat cruise was excellent. The only bad issue I had was getting our drinks for the cruise, it took 25 minutes to get my drinks! I would recommend having more help at the bar, at least 2 people. My suggestion to travelers is get your drinks as soon as you board the boat if you don't want to miss any sights or views.

The sunset was crazy beautiful! Loved it. However, I’m not joking they played the worst music ever. We’re watching the most gorgeous sunset, it would have been perfect in silence. Instead, they blared nicki Minaj and Whitney Houston from the shittiest metal speaker. We were dying laughing like whose playlist was that????

from the moment I arrived at the location for departure, I felt welcomed and very assisted by the staff. They didn't fail to accommodate me and my friend. Once getting on the boat , we were greeted by more friendly staff members. The trip was beautiful and just what we needed to end our day off in
