Share LinkCaptain Kev is a legend!
I love Captain Kev and his tour! Every single thing about it is amazing. Captain and his crew is so friendly and real deal. The spots he has taken us were just gorgeous. Food was plenty and delicious. Very comfortable to sleep in the boat. All he wants is to make sure everybody is enjoying the experience. After tour he organises a dinner with discount and free beers in a nice pub under his name. He is an awesome guy and the tour is unbelieveble!
