Best 3 Hour Lunch/Music Riverboat Cruise in Florida

My husband and I had the most delightful experience on this lunch/music cruise this last Thursday. The customer service was amazing from check-in to boarding. Captain Mike is most charming. The music was absolutely wonderful and I was shocked about how delicious the food is (mind you, I'm a Google Local Guide and I review a LOT of restaurants).

Amazing Time!

Had some time to burn in the Deland area and decided on the 3 hour lunch cruise. It was my sister and I and we had a blast. Good food and inclusive for dietary restrictions! The staff was warm and attentive, the woman singing was great, and there was even some history of the experience included over the speakers. She even took song recommendations!! Definitely worth it.
