"Ricky was a great captain. We had a great time with him. If you need a kid or adult friendly excursion this is our local guide to use. He’s professional and fun while producing results that you want when you pay for trips like these. 10/10 would recommend this guy for your next trip."

"Ricky was an excellent captain for our group. He navigated the rougher waters when we had a group that wasn’t used to the conditions and he made us comfortable and reassured the rest of the passengers that they were in safe hands. If you’re looking for a captain than knows the local areas and spots this is your guy."
