Awesome experience - This was our first time on a sailboat. We thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife had the opportunity to drive and I assisted with the sails. The music was wonderful and the weather was perfect. I would encourage you to book this experience. Oliver is super cool and we will be back with friends.

Sunset Sail with Captain Oliver - If you’re looking to book a river cruise, this is the one! Captain Oliver is the best of the best. We had a wonderful time on his sailboat, had great conversation and learned some new things! My husband and I booked this for our 2 year wedding anniversary and it was perfect. I’d recommend going to the 6:30pm cruise for a beautiful sunset! Highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back with friends and family.
