Rode 4 adults in our mini boat - pretty cozy but doable. The person up front has the bumpiest ride by far and must be prepared to hang on to ropes at times. Wouldn’t put small kids there solo. Having said those qualifiers, we had an excellent time that included stops for history, local celebrity lore, wildlife info, water breaks and questions. We would also slow down for dolphin sightings. Our 2 guides (can’t recall names, my apologies, but 1 was from Raleigh and the other was a homegrown local) always kept watch both by leading and bringing up the rear so it felt quite safe. They were young but handled themselves very professionally and attentively. Instructions were clear for both passengers and drivers. Would recommend a morning trip during summer heat as there is no shade. A fanny pack or something attached to you is the safest way to ensure nothing valuable flies out unexpectedly. Keep in mind also that you’ll be wearing a deflated life jacket. We all said we would go again.
