“The vibe was great. The music was great. The staff was great. The drinks were great. The food was ok. The private island was below expectations and it was not clear that we would have to swim out to the island and leave our things including towels and personals on the boat.”

Everyone remarked how he did a great job holding everyone’s attention, keeping the kids engaged, and providing more details and insights when people asked questions. The boat tour was fantastic as well and a great way to see the city of Boston. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
