The crew may include local captains such as Antonio or Winston Hanley, though staffing can vary. The boat returns to the same marina.

“The crew and catamaran were great, as were the flowing drinks! The snacks were mediocre, but we really didn’t expect much food. The only issue we had was we returned to the dock at exactly two hours after we departed and missed the sunset! I thought they said the cruise would be three hours.”
