Their Afternoon Fun in the Sun Half Day Tour is a private four-hour charter designed for groups up to six—ensuring a fully intimate experience on the waves.

With no other passengers onboard, it’s a rare chance to customize your itinerary, linger at scenic spots, or simply savor the salt breeze and shifting light across the water’s surface.
