My friend owns this and people love it - it is a catamaran tour for up to 6 guests. So much fun! Captain Pam has a cooler with ice, you bring some food and beverages and sail around. She'll take you to great swimming spots, catch a suntan or book for a sunset tour. Can't recommend this enough!

This is a great spa if you want to spend the day using the hot tub, pool, eat lunch, etc. It's a bit of a drive so if you are visiting in the summer I would do a google search and find one closer to home. If you are coming for a wedding, bachelorette or event like that, book in advance...this is where I'd recommend!
