Q:
Would anyone recommend we take both the Cumberland Island tour AND the Sunset BYOB tour or are they very similar (information and course wise)?
A:
The Cumberland Island cruise is informative. As I understand it, the sunset BYOB cruise is just that, a sunset booze cruise. Don't believe that there's much if any narrative.
Q:
Are there restrooms on the boat?
A:
Yes, all of our boats have a restroom.
Q:
Are the curtains down on a chilly day or only when raining? Planning on Friday or Saturday - expected to be low 50s.
A:
The captains make sure you are comfy! They provide blankets, curtains etc as needed. Bring your jackets , scarves to make yourself at ease! Enjoy!

Q:
Can I bring an 8 month old on the boat?
A:
We took my 10 Month old grandson on the trip. No problems. Had his stroller and when he needed feeding the back of the boat had plenty of room for the family. I don't see why …
