May 2024: Shelley from Tulsa

Cruising from spot to spot was one of my favs, I enjoyed the sun, the clouds, the rain, the food, music and even the quiet. The hospitality was plentiful and genuine, Jules & Ken made sure of that. Captain got us everywhere we needed to go, Julie cooked her heart out and it was delicious.

We were celebrating my 50th birthday and it was a trip of my lifetime. I love this boat. The water was perfect everyday. Thank you to Captain and Jules for the wonderful gift of boat life, Cheers Mate.
