Maria took so many photos of us (all much better than I could have taken) and kept offering us water if we wanted some. Jessica made sure and kept the boat smooth when going slow so that we didn’t rock, but when going fast she made sure we felt every bump and wave. Such good fun and a great way to see so many of the key sites from the water.”
