It was called Cruise the Intercoastal and even though the weather wasn't perfect we still had a fantastic time. Captain Dominick picked us up on time and as promised we could bring on our own drinks and snacks. His boat was clean and he has a great setup for all 5 of us to fit comfortably, we loved the bean bag chairs. The two hours was a perfect amount of time and he showed us some beautiful houses as we hung out and spent time together laughing, chatting, and listening to music. I would highly recommend for a more "intimate" experience and I think anyone would enjoy Captain Don as their host.

Oh buddy, joined a tour for a sunset 2 hour excursion. We had a fun time, but overall, I was…read moredisappointed. Was expecting some actual tour info, never visited this area and only new tidbit I learned was in regards to the golden gate. We did sail past a lighthouse but nothing was said about it! The tour guide, Tony was nice enough, but definitely wasn't engaging. Kinda gave the vibes as if our tour was an after thought and honestly didn't want to be there and not familiar with our boat. Tour also started late because we were sent the wrong address. Captain confirmed but wasn't at the confirmed location when we called and we had to drive elsewhere. No signs or flags just "walk to the back of the restaurant". The boat had tiki decor, but could definitely get a facelift. There were bean bags to sit on that have seen better days. Seats in the front would get splashed with water. The floor had wet turf, so be aware of that! Water was offered and stored in a cooler. The cooler also doubled as a seat. Lack of cup holders. Life jackets were dirty! Being that the tour was a sunset one we were anticipating sailing in the dark. Was not expecting to be sailing in pitch black. The only light was from the shore and other boats. Captain couldn't figure how to turn on the string lights. Even when he supposedly called for assist no one knew how to turn it on. We were offered to extend the trip but definitely declined since what would be the point?! We had a good time because of the fun that we brought. Likely wouldn't return with my family.

Organized a sunset tour for a bachelorette party for 10 people. The seats on the boat were…read morewet/dirty/moldy and didn't seem like enough for 10 people. Communication with team was very easy through texts however the captain did text us the wrong address Tour itself is pretty and relaxing just weird vibes for bachelorette Market lights didn't work for the sunset tour and the captain was on his phone a lot dealing with personal items They have other boat tours that may be better but definitely wouldn't rec sunset tour again

I can certainly say that booking a boat day with Captain Eddie absolutely did the trick and MADE our trip! We originally booked for six hours and had so much fun, we asked to add another hour on. Captain Eddie is easy to work with, very professional, and has tons of great suggestions for things to do while you are in FTL. The pictures of the boat don't do it justice - there is so much room for walking around and tons of seating area, and enough cooler space for any alcohol you need. I will admit, at first I was wary of not going through a typical boat charter company, especially since I was handling other people's money who were paying for our boat day. I did my due diligence and even privately messaged a few of the other ladies who reviewed Hard Charters on here to be sure that they had a fun and safe experience, and the feedback was all immensely positive. This helped me make the decision to book with Captain Eddie and I am SO glad I did! It was the perfect day and exactly what I (and our bride!) had envisioned.

Alex was our captain and was great the entire trip. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and did a nice job pointing out houses, yachts, and different spots along the water without overdoing it.

I went on the Dinner Cruise in December. Service: Wait in line to be boarded, check in, go hang out anywhere (inside, front/back of lower deck, front/back of upper deck), food will be served to you whenever you seat yourself (I was served at 5:30pm), non alcoholic drinks are complimentary at the bar otherwise it's BYOB. Fun cruise experience. I get sea sick and was not sea sick at all during the entire cruise. The front of the yacht can be really windy so keep that in mind, especially once the sun sets because it can get cold during winter. The yacht only travels intercostally, no open sea. That being said, it was iron and sad to see the beautiful picturesque sunset being obstructed by all the multimillion dollar homes lining waterway. Side salad of mixed greens, cucumber, shredded carrot, and grape tomato (ranch or vinaigrette dressing) was served alongside Lasagna topped with Italian sausage and a slice of garlic buttered French bread. It was all very homemade tasting and yummy! For dessert, a square slice of carrot cake was served, not too sweet and very satisfying (however, it does contain walnuts so beware if you have allergies).

We left at 4:09, I think we were waiting for some latecomers. Ok the captain spoke some mentioning many of the different zillionaires on the waterway. It was my birthday and those who came forward were able to steer the boat for a few minutes. It was 5:35 and "bam" we made a u-turn. Yup, dinner was ready and warm lasagna and salad for all. Listen don't come for gourmet food, it may be Stouffers, with a great salad and garlic bread, but you are on a boat with 40 people. It was very enjoyable 5 star, maybe not; but the wife and I enjoyed it. Remember to bring your alcohol.

I enjoyed standing in the front it was very enjoyable and just loved the sunset Florida has some of the most beautiful sunsets incredible. We arrived at the island and greeted with friendly people where all the entertainment began. We sat down and ate they brought the food bbq to the table brought is drinks during the dinner they had live music that followed outside fire dancers and hula dancing. Then you were able to walk around the island birds a few animals jungle vibe. Than back on the boat for a ride back. Food was chicken which was tender and tasty. Ribs that feel off the bone with extra bbq sauce. Corn bread coleslaw.

This was expected though since most of these types of boat rides are similar in that respect. One interesting highlight was the trip into Port Canaveral to see some of the cruise ships in port. The tour guide/docent named Mason kept us engaged throughout the trip with his knowledge and an occasional one-liner. All in all a very pleasant afternoon. Highly recommended

The boat was very crowded with not enough seats for everyone and people were falling all over the place. The water was very choppy and not a good time for beginner snorkelers to be out there.

I ended up with a big bruise on my calf from trying to climb the ladder out of the water with flippers on. They should have warned us about that, to take them off first.
