Each can comfortably hold a busload of passengers with each table arranged along a window in order to give all passengers a great view.  The promenade deck, that surrounds the dining area, allows everyone to stroll the deck or sit and enjoy the river scenery.   All boats have accessible washrooms and each boat is completely enclosed enabling us to sail rain or shine.
