A
Really recommend
Really recommend this, young captain on top deck happy to chat and informative. Such a good evening and an average sunset, but that's mother nature for you, still a good trip
G
Not worth the money if weather isn’t right
Completely weather dependent and if weather is bad then they will take you on a leisurely trip along the river to make up time . Also no where did it say you must be bare foot when entering the vessel!!!!

Sunset Cruise
Very enjoyable sunset sail - weather was overcast and sea was a bit rough- overall the crew did a good job of welcoming us and keeping us fed

Sea breeze sunset cruise
In the dry season take warm cloths and seasick tablets before leaving I thinks the crew were betting on how many people were seasick haha otherwise I thought was great enjoyed the open sea swell

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
C

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.

An enjoyable evening cruise
A lovely cruise. Weather was a bit overcast but still enjo the views and could move around on the boat. Food was amazing and plentiful. Staff were wonderful!
