“We had an amazing sunset cruise with Captain Kaya! She was fun, easygoing, and incredibly engaging throughout the trip.

“Booked this cruise as part of a birthday surprise for my husband. We unfortunately disappointed in the service on the boat. Drinks were available at bar. However, the hors d’oeuvres were not appropriately offered to guests. You are given a VERY brief welcome with champagne or cider while on boarding and pretty rushed to find a good seat. There are 3 levels for seating. This is where the issue lies. Although we found a great spot right along the top deck towards the front of the boat. We and all those around us did not get but one round of the the hors d’oeuvres. The top deck received almost all…”

“This Sunset Sail said to meet one hour before sunset. We looked up the sunset. It was at 7:49pm that night. So, we figured be there at 6:45. We got a call at 6:20ish telling us we were supposed to be there at 6, and that the sail was 6-9. No information ever given to us to be there at 6pm. There was only one person manning the boat, who seemed nice enough but the effort wasn't there. Probably he was upset that we weren't there at 6. We motored the entire time. I asked him to put up the sails and he did, and we went no where. He…”
