Our boat tour was very nice! There are two staff members - the captain and the chef. All meals were great on the boat and they even cooked some fresh shrimp we bought at the fish market! The rooms were adequately air conditioned and both staff members gave us great privacy the whole time. Overall the entire experience from car pickup, to boat transfer, to drop off were all professionally done. We saw other boats on the water weren’t as good as shape as ours so we are glad we got a premium boat!
