Review of "Navy Harbor Tour Boat

Let's take a look at some of the reviews of the "Navy Harbor Tour Boat."

Cruising around the Maritime Self-Defense Force is a great way to get to know it. It takes about 30 minutes to go slowly around Maizuru Bay in a counterclockwise direction, but it went by very quickly.
I had a wonderful time in a very short 30 minutes. There were explanations of the types of boats and I gained fresh knowledge.
The 30-minute talk is also very informative. It is a must for children who love boats.
We were able to see convoys and supply ships from the sea. It was a valuable and very good experience.
We were able to see not only the destroyers, but also the Maizuru Crane Bridge, large tankers, and a huge dock. The sea breeze was pleasant.
We were able to take our time and get up close and personal with the Self-Defense Forces' destroyers and shipyard. The JMSDF destroyers were very powerful and impressive.
...A very well guided cruise...lasted about 30 minutes but was very productive. You can see the ship up close.
It is wonderful just to be able to cruise on the ocean...you can even see a destroyer! It is spectacular and recommended for families and couples.
I was happy to see the Aegis and other vessels up close. I was happy when the Self-Defense Forces personnel waved their hands to me.
It was a comfortable and caring place to spend time. Cruising at sunset was fantastic....
