We follow a gentle route past docked sailboats, iconic waterfront homes and marina backdrops.

HEADS UP: We need a minimum of four reservations for this session to happen. If the group is too small, reservations will have the option to be refunded or rescheduled. Sessions may be canceled (and refunded) due to weather conditions.
