My 10 year old daughter was terrified of even paddle boats and within a day was jumping in and out of the dingys and snorkeling with the sea lions. The crew of the boat were friendly and helpful. We didn't want to go home.

The Seaman Journey was a great boat - clean, spacious enough so that it never seemed crowded, and the rooms were more than appropriate. And food great.
Simon Gisby
