What really was the topper to the trip was AMAZING crew! All three of them lost basically everything in the Lahaina fire - yet you would never tell - amazing people - genuine, caring, kind, positive and hard working! They didn’t ask but we know that tips especially matter now more than ever. If you go, be sure to tip well - they definitely earn it! Thank you, Captain Dan, Jacob, and Marissa, for an incredible time and forever…”
