Lovely way to spend an afternoon
Very enjoyable cruise with interesting and funny commentary. Cocktails were definitely a hit. Suggest taking a jacket in case wind picks up. Nice to be able to stay in the top deck. Highly recommend

Good value for the money. This is the 2nd time I've taken interstate guests on this boat. Would recommend booking when the owner/male captain is driving as he is much more informative. 10/10 with the owner 7/10 with the female captain
