Relaxed Cruise
Only improvement would be to have a live commentary from the Captain. He looked like fun so this could have added to the experience

Hi Kevin We do have live commentary on most of our tours , however if the skipper needs to rest her voice the audio one is sometimes used. Many thanks Alfred
