Went with a member and was very disappointed with the 1/2 the experience. Boat ran out of gas(boat was not fueled properlyfrom the start)and we were stranded and almost hit by a cruise ship. The member was also charged unfairly for the associated fees as we were towed/stranded for more than half. Appreciate the harbour island freedom for towing us out but the leadership at the ricks thoroughly needs to be looked at

While we were on the water Captain Ted made both my husband and I feel comfortable. He ensured we both had enough knowledge to get out in the water safely.
