Four girlfriends and I took this charter during our recent annual MV vacation. I was a little concerned being in a close space because of COVID, but the the captain, Sequoia and his first mate (can’t remember her name) took precautions— masks and hand sanitizers so we felt comfortable. We brought all our own food, drinks and utensils for an added layer of comfort. It was a beautiful day and Captain Sequoia shared with us points of interest as we sailed. We were really just looking for a relaxing day on the water so we weren’t very interested but he was knowledgeable should that be something a group is interested in. The trip was three hours but it felt shorter and I could have used a few more hours on the water. Boat was a little bit on the old/not modern side but clean and spacious enough for our group and the boat staff. Would recommend for kids and adults looking for a few hours of fun on the ocean.
