Fantastic experience - My wife and I chose this cruise for the view. Our Captain was Glenn & he was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the location. The boat was comfortable and we proceeded at a pleasant speed around King's Bay. The sunset was spectacular and we even got up-close to a family of osprey. Would do this cruise again when in the area.
