A great boat trip - A must do boat trip. Very knowledgeable and funny trip guide. Lots of Birds to photograph even though the day was pouring with rain. Was also treated to damper bread and tea, honey and strawberries. 4 hours well spent and for those that need it a toilet in the corner of the boat. Would highly recommend.

An experience must when visiting Albany WA - Great experience and Captain Jonathon was a wealth of knowledge and humour. Cost was comfortable for the 4 hour voyage. All customers said they enjoyed it especially the Damper and Oyster tasting. Recommend highly to do with a visit to Albany.

A fantastic way to spend time in Albany! - During the relaxing, nature filled scenic cruise, Jack gave a very informative narrative on Albany's rich history, current life style and it's future. Jack has a way with words that is entertaining and informative. He has a wonderful sense of humour that had everyone engaged and laughing. Both the damper (made by Jack's mom) and tea were delicious. A must do in Albany!!

Capitan Jack one man show - Jack is the best Capitan I ever had cruise with. He is like a wonderful actor in one man show. He explained so many things about various of topics: birds, stingrays, seegrass, Albany, local history, etc etc You will not have a chance to get bored with him. If you like poetry he will declare some poems. Its all interactive. It is really the best ever cruise. Thank Jack. You made our day.
