Nice evening cruise
Nice evening cruise round the harbour. Unfortunately we were a bit unlucky and the weather wasnt as warm as it had been. But on a warm evening it is the perfect way to unwind and take in the wonderful views of the scenery and wildlife not to mention cruising down past millionaires row at sandbanks The crew, try hard to point out local points of Interest and tell a few local stories. Lovely on.a warm evening or you will need a warm jacket if not such good weather

Worth a tour on a nice evening
Friendly staff but could do 90 minutes cruise in 30. I think either extend the tour rather than make it obvious that that your stalling just to justify the price. Other than that it was cool.

The weather was perfect...
The weather was perfect warm and calm. The Jurassic rocks were amazing and the sights of Sandbanks. Perfect sunset 🌇 Bring a light jacket/cardigan because even though it was 80f/27c it gets cooler on the return.

Sights , Sounds, and Sundown
Went on the harbour lights cruise. Seeing how the other half live and watching all the activity in Poole harbour. It was a perfect evening after a perfect day. There was a funny and informative commentary. We had the surprise of an impromptu birthday party of a fellow passenger with cake and candles. The highlight was the return half ,wending our way round the islands with the sum on the yardarm. The crew was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
