Prompt, efficient, comfortable. I was worried as I get very seasick, but needn't have been. I took a seasick pill before we left and picked an aisle seat so I could sit sideways and look at the horizon behind us (you can't see sideways or forward). I felt great. It seemed very safe and well run.

The boat was overbooked and some people had to do the whole trip standing.The time they advertised is far from reality, it took 2 hours and 15 mins. The pick was on time.
