Weather was beautiful but my 3 and 5 yo grandsons were not impressed with the skyline. They were hoping to see seals, dolphins and other marine animals. Decent for adults, but little value for small kids.

I accidentally purchased two reservations by mistake. I tried for three day to correct it but failed. Why - given phone numbers that were discontinued, waited for 45 minutes for someone to answer the phone so I gave up, I left several phone messages that were never returned and the boat company could not help me.. I will NEVER use your ticket agency in the future!!!!!! Nor will I recumbent it. The boat was very old, lacked clean toilet and one stale had no toilet paper even before we left port.
