The staff are superb. We could not recommend it more highly

Ordinary food, excellent boat ride.
The journey was OK but although speakers were fitted everywhere the captains comentary could not be heard mostly. The food was not particularly good, very small portions and not that nice, money spent on this trip could be better spent elsewhere.

Very interesting commentary during the cruise, friendly caring staff, fantastic lunch!
Hi team, We are very happy to provide feedback about our experience. We absolutely loved our lunch, every component of each course was delicious! We especially enjoyed the broccoli salad and the lamb. I'm going to attempt the salad at home, it will be a favourite to share with the family. We would also like to congratulate Zoe on her excellent service and friendliness. Such a pleasure to meet someone so lovely! The cruise was wonderful too, in all, we were very well looked after with a perfectly organized trip and lunch. Very professional and highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely day, it will be a memorable one helping us to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. Regards Rosanne and John Show quoted text

Enjoyable cruise with lovely food.
I had two friends visiting from the mainland and we all thoroughly enjoyed the day. The boat ride was great, with good commentary, and Peppermint Bat itself was beautiful. We had a lovely 3 course meal with a glass of wine and enjoyed the day.

GREAT DAY
A great trip. The large catamaran has big windows and very comfortable sears. The Captains commentary was very informative and the boat slowed and stopped at the interesting spots. The lunch in the Peppermint restaurant was outstanding. The food was varied and interesting and was served on plates in the centre of the table. Diners then held themselves from them. There was plenty to eat and it was all very tasty . We had some indifferent weather at the start of the cruise but it didn't affect our enjoyment. We were a group of ten and would all recommend this trip to you.
