Highly recommended !!!!Posted on KrystinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was so much fun!!!! My sisters and I booked this harbor tour with our Dad to celebrate Father’s Day. Captain Dave showed us all the fun highlights of the Channel Island Harbor. He gave us many tips for other local adventures as well as sharing other fun boat tours he does. The boat was perfect, clean and comfortable! There was plenty of room to set up snacks as we motored through the channel. We will definitely be back, Thank you for such a beautiful trip Captain Dave!Posted on BiancaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Captain Dave is super friendly and knowledgeable! My husband and I had an exceptionally relaxing time cruising and admiring all the boats, houses, and wild life.

My husband Carlos and I had the pleasure of taking a relaxing and fun tour with Captain Dave on his safari boat! It’s Mother’s Day and we booked a sunset tour. Although the sun wasn’t out so we couldn’t see the sunset, Captain Dave made our tour fun and knowledgeable! He’s has a lot of great insight on sea animals, birds, and places around! It was like talking to a friend! The ride was smooth and relaxing with great music. We brought our own soft drinks next time we will be taking snacks! It was a cold night and Captain Dave had us covered with warm blankets! He’s boat set up is so cute/clean with lights at night, great for pictures! We definitely recommend Safari boat tours with Captain Dave! We actually plan on going back for the summer and Christmas time!! If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate! Book it!! You won’t be disappointed!!Posted on MelissaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most amazing Mother’s Day adventure cruse!!!
