A experience that complete the trip - The sunset cruise was a amazing experience. The food and staff were phenomenal. The staff was both extremely friendly and willing to accommodate. The music was great and set a wonderful atmosphere. I would definitely do this tour again.

Great overall experience! - The cruise itself was great! We enjoyed it thoroughly! I have 2 small issues....the live music could only be heard on the 2nd floor, I believe. We were on the 3rd floor for most of the cruise, so didn't really hear much of the live music. My second issue was that the banana pudding dessert was extremely runny, and no spoons were provided! Otherwise, the cruise itself was lovely, relaxing, great scenery, good food, excellent service by all, and I would do it again!

Not Handicap Accessible - It is NOT handicap accessible. Crew was very helpful and very informative. Had to spend the entire cruise on the middle deck as the tide was high to boarded on the lower deck. There is no handicap accessible toilet!! Can't go to anywhere because of stairs.

The live band could not... - The live band could not be heard if you were not on that level of the boat. There was other music playing on the other floors of the boat. Would have been nice to hear some information of the area.

Anniversary cruise - The sunset veiw was great,the music/performance was lacking they played for about 50% of the cruise and I'm not sure if rock and roll songs count as blues music, the buffet was more institutional food not southern cuisine and there was no southern drink " tea " that has always been grown in the lowcountry. The cruise is advertised as a dinner cruise but a dinner has some sort of drink tea,lemonade, water none was provided you had to go in a fairly long line to buy sodas for your meal. The captain and crew did a great job of maintaining a great ride and presenting great views for all. My hats off for your crew they do a great job. If the meal and the entertainment could be improved I see the sunset cruise performing to the expectations that have been advertised. I hope this is taken as a way to enhance your cruise and make it as a way to draw more customers to the harbor cruises and improve the visits for all.

Wouldn't do again - The Boat was very old dirty. Cruise ended early due to restroom issues and then the new captain could not dock the boat. Buffett style and they made you go to the deck above to get drinks not very organized.

Not worth money spent - Not at all what I expected or paid for. The BBQ was mediocre, the music was no where near the genre of the blues. The only drinks offered were watered down margaritas, some no name wine, and beer. If you says blues, have someone actually knows and can sing the blues.

Blues cruise - A water pipe broke on the boat and we had to end the trip. There was a group of us and we were enjoying the boat ride. The trip being cut short was an inconvenience. The food was just okay. The bar-b-cue had no flavor. The mac and cheese was just okay. The chicken was ok. The coleslaw was good. The banana pudding was terrible.
