Fantastic cruise

This cruise was fantastic, friendly staff & informative Captain. My son (8yrs old) was given the opportunity to steer the boat which he thoroughly enjoyed & the captain was really fantastic with teaching him.

Fabulous day

What a great way to spend the day. Great skipper and crew. We'll thought out viewing at the carving so everyone could get good photo

Family trip

My parents, aunty and uncle did this trip with my grandad and were very impressed with the sail and service. Although a cold day they really enjoyed it and half still managed to stay outside despite the freezing weather. They were particularly excited by being able to steer. Great value for money.
