He is professional and quick to respond and has experienced so many different event and weather scenarios that he makes you feel incredibly comfortable with all of the planning aspects. I kept asking him if the boat was going to look as amazing as the Instagram posts and he assured me it would...and it did....actually better!!!! He is a man of his word . We used his recommended caterer and DJ for ease of planning and both were fantastic. The food was tasty and plentiful and DJ Anthony connected us to a private portal where my daughter was able to select all of her favorite music. But I would be remiss if I did not mention the Festiva crew. Each staffer friendlier and more accommodating than the next. Our experience was a 10/10 and I truly hope I have the opportunity to plan another event with Teal Cruises again.

The cruise was well narrated (who knew, love ya baby, that Telly Savalas had a house on the Navesink?) and being able to get a Bombay Sapphire gin and tonic for the g/f was a huge plus!

The boat itself is clean and has enough room to move around while you're riding out to where you'll see sea life. The crew has clearly been doing this for a very long time and is incredibly knowledgeable. We had perfect weather and saw many dolphins and even saw some whales! It's a group activity for the whole ship to keep an eye out for some movement but it's so exciting when you do spot a whale tail pop out of the water. The whales were very active and we saw a few different ones before the ship was starting to turn back to head toward Brooklyn. As we were heading home we saw a two whale breeches so the captain turned the ship back around so we could see as much as possible. I was able to ask whatever questions I had about the whales to the crew and they always had answers. You can bring food aboard, and I believe on the lower level there is a little concession stand (I sat up top and stayed up there the whole time). Highly recommend a jacket or sweater as once you're out on open water the breeze kicks in.
