Not so cruisy

It was an interesting sunset cruise as the wind was gusty and sea choppy but the crew were great and overall no one got sick or fell overboard ! I think in hindsight they could have cancelled

Sunset cruise

Advertised as 4.30 pm. It was actually boarding at 4.45 pm for a 5 pm departure. Had to leave our shoes in a bucket before boarding. Food was ordinary, drinks were small - no red wine. Not the operators fault but it was grey and misty so we saw no sunset.

Roller-coaster cruise

The staff was lovely. The sunset cruise doesn't always come with a sunset, which is understandable, can't predict the weather. However, choppy water made it feel more like a rollercoaster. Don't expect much for canapes, if you can stomach them during choppy waters. Lack of lighting while disembarking, made it unsafe as the gap between the boat and ramp was invisible. Use your torch people.

A great way to spend an afternoon

The catamaran ventures from the harbour and then sails in whichever direction the wind takes you. Drinks and canapes are served whilst underway which makes for a very enjoyable experience. The forward area of the boat has seating areas and two over water trampolines if you want to get closer to the waves. The captain and crew are all very professional and easy going. We really enjoyed the sunset cruise experience
