Due to the current regulations that restrict our passenger capacity, we are still unable to begin our 2020 sightseeing season. It is our hope that we will be included for reopening in the phase 3 regulations beginning on July 20th. These circumstances are unfortunate and we appreciate your patience. Stay healthy and we look forward to seeing you soon. Fair winds and following seas!
