Julien was the best skipper and host, replied super fast and was really helpful when planning the trip. We were 8 ppl for a bachelorette and had the most amazing day out along the coast. He was on time, no extra unhidden charges, super friendly and just a great host. Would recommend to rent his boat to everyone who wants a memorable boat day!
