This was a fun brunch experience. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The ride on the bay was a beautiful experience as well.

Being on the water is always a good thing. Visually, the tour was fine - it would have been much better if we could have understood the tour guide.

top deck seating was fine. However, the engine cooling fans were so noisy we could not hear, nor understand, anything the tour guide "Max" was saying. On the second hour, we moved into a protected on the top deck (away from the exhaust fans) and could easily understand the narrative. We mentioned this situation to a couple of staff, who largely didn't seem to care about this issue.

The water was pretty rough that day and I felt nauseous most of the trip so I could not enjoy the watching as much as I would have liked to.

Our docent was very knowledgeable and informative. You can tell she loves her job from her enthusiasm. We learned a lot about whales from her.
