Perfect Day

Experienced crew and fun small group of people. If you have been debating whether or not to do this, don’t hesitate! Not scary at all and absolutely beautiful and calm flight from and back to the boat! No hard landings…a breeze!

Don’t recommend, they will take payment while knowing their service is unavailable.

Despite having known their boats had been under maintenance since I booked, they called only one hour before my appointment to tell me they would need to reschedule to the following week. I was leaving the following day. They said I would receive a refund, but they did not know when I would get it. I’ve only been getting notifications to rate my experience ever since.

Unreliable service

Booking was cancelled twice, supposedly due to boat maintenance. If the boat was unavailable for service, we should have been advised much earlier and the company should have made every effort to find us another booking. I can't believe they have only one boat. Unacceptable.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sincerely sorry for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the cancellations. We understand how disappointing this was. Guest safety is always our top priority, and when unexpected maintenance is required, we occasionally have to make difficult scheduling changes. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue improving our communication and guest experience.

horrible experience

We show up 30 minutes prior and they canceled the trip 30 minutes after the time it was suppose to start. I had to call the company 5 different times for them to tell me they canceled it. And we never got notified, by call, text or even email. That had all day to reach out to let me know it canceled before coming. Never again will I book through them.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced. We understand how disappointing it is to arrive for your trip only to have it canceled without clear communication. We would love the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to our team directly, and we would be happy to arrange a complimentary ride for you.
