Captain Dave is all around awesome. He was welcoming, friendly and made our trip so much fun. Eyes like a hawk he pointed out so much wildlife that otherwise would of escaped our view. The boat was super nice and it was so relaxing yet exhilarating all along. Thank you for such a great trip would thoroughly recommend.
