Fun outside the box - Different than a sedate tour around a quiet harbor. What a rush and this 75 year old loved it and the kindness of the staff.

City Boat Tour - My husband and I enjoyed the trip. Saw some sights and some seals! Katie was very knowledgeable but rather difficult to hear at the front of the boat. Great weather on the day we went!
