• 1I hate to leave a 1 star...

  I hate to leave a 1 star review, but our trip was canceled due to “weather”. There was no rain in the forecast and it ended up being the most beautiful night. We were just really disappointed and I wish I could give a better review, but it felt like it was canceled due to not having max capacity for the boat and that it “wasn’t worth it” for them to go through with our visit.

• 3It was ok

  The marina was a little difficult to locate, as it's tucked behind a hotel and restaurant, but once we found it, it felt like a safe and well-maintained location. One thing to note is that the nearby stores were closed, so there wasn't an opportunity to grab snacks or drinks before departure. The boat ride itself was comfortable and practical, though it wasn't particularly memorable or scenic. On the positive side, we had the boat entirely to ourselves, which made for a quiet and private experience. Overall, it was a pleasant outing, but it didn't quite deliver a standout experience

  Troy was a wonderful captain. We witnessed dozens of dolphins, and had spectacular views. Very peaceful trip, I would absolutely do it again.

• 5An absolutely perfect sunset cruise!

  Capt. David was fantastic—incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to make the entire experience special for us. The highlights of the trip were definitely the breathtaking sunset views and getting to see dolphins up close! If you're looking for a memorable time out on the water, I highly recommend Island Ferry. We will absolutely be booking with them again!
