Our party of 6 had a great time and Captain Mancini was absolutely wonderful both as Captain & host. The hors d’oeuvres were super tasty and his nautical skills top notch! The boat was comfortable and offered a great deck w/bean bag at bow and a very relaxing and roomy stern.
The additional fees not being clearly identified prior to purchase caused a little bit of confusion when organizing our group...
Would have been helpful to be aware of the amount of the additional taxes, surcharge & boarding fees “due at dock” prior to the package purchase, so will just note their breakdown here:
For 2 hours, 6 people or less = TOTAL add’l $140 due day of sail. ($100 docking fee + $40 taxes)
For 3 hours, 6 people or less = TOTAL add’l $369 due day of sail. ($140 same as above for first two hours + $229 taxes/surcharge for the extra hour**).
**The extra taxes for third hour is apparently calculated by the state of CA on a per person basis sliding scale.
Recommended you check with Captain Mancini beforehand if you have any questions regarding extra fees. But this is what he relayed to me.
Overall, was a very fun trip and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day! Great dolphin and seal watching!
