4 hr cruise down the Indian River lagoon to Jupiter Inlet was just what we expected...relaxing, peaceful, and comfortable ride. The weather was perfect, in the low-mid 70's, slight breeze, and crystal clear skies. The guides provided narration of history, sites, homes, along the beautiful stretch of the waterway from Stuart to Jupiter. Some of the history of impressive mansions and famous residences was interesting to hear and see as that's a whole different world. The crew were very delightful and courteous to all. They provided clear information about the tour, safety steps and equipment, and some humor as well. The customers were clearly retired snowbirds with only a couple of mid-aged families. The bartenders were quick fill orders and keep customers happy. The box lunch was good, nothing special, but for the price it was well worth it. Only two minor negatives we have to add: 1) part of the trip safety instructions/info was that there was no smoking anywhere except for a small space on the outside on the first floor stern deck, literally like a 3'x3' area...and what does the Captain do about ten minutes into the trip in the wheelhouse? Lights up a cigarette and the smoke flows back across the upper deck...many notice and an elderly retired USAF guy promptly gets up and goes to the wheelhouse to asks him to put it out, which he did and then flipped the butt out to the water. Really?? He should be reprimanded at least. 2) the return trip had little narration and mostly piped in Sirius Outlaw Country music...some of the sourest, twangy, ear curdling stuff I've ever heard...and I'm pretty sure none of those snowbirds enjoyed it. Overall, I would recommend this trip.
