"Loved this harbor sightseeing cruise! Our host/tour guide was hilarious, interactive, and provided a wonderful overview of the harbor’s history and current uses. Boat had ample seating with options for comfort: inside A/C with window views & outside top deck with shaded and sunny areas. Speakers worked really well, and we could hear perfectly regardless of where we walked around the ship."
