“The trip was very good. The captain was knowledgeable of the area and gave us key points along the way and visiting ships, from Hilton Head to Savannah. She was very kind and helped my wife and I while boarding. The crew was nice and helpful. My only complaint was that we did not have enough time ashore. We needed the full 4 hours, but got about 3 1/2 hrs.”
