Choose your cruise aboard VADA

Every cruise is a private, exclusive charter aboard VADA — up to 6 guests per charter, in compliance with U.S. Coast Guard licensing. Choose a 3-hour scenic cruise or a 4-hour experience with time for a possible dock-and-dine stop. Bring your own food or ask about optional menu add-ons when you inquire.
