"The trip was an experience that i enjoyed, however you must be open minded. Its a little primitive. Great communication from the owner. The weather was a factor I should have paid more attention to before I booked. I would go back."

"We arrived by our own boat and loved every minute! Perfect for teens who like a little adventure. The most beautiful sunset and star gazing spot in Cortez/AMI! Brittany was awesome and accommodating with frequent changes. We had dolphins and manatees saying hi. Caught a small grouper off the boat!"
