What the Ride Feels Like

The ride is presented as an easy, luxurious transfer rather than a tour: brief, focused runs in private with a crew to handle boarding and luggage, a cooler of ice and water available, and fuel included — in practice the experience reads like a punctual, no-fuss connection between island points or between airport and accommodation.
