Our pilot was called Popeye and he was great the music was on point the food/drinks was great… we were able to sit back and enjoy the ride we were even late and he didn’t have any problems with that even helped us find the place when we got lost… the only thing that I didn’t like/enjoy was the water was dirty as hell which was not his fault.
