Beautifully restored RNLI and Dunkirk Veteran Lifeboat. This boat was involved in the evacuations of operation Dynamo also saved 44 lives as an RNLI lifeboat. This Historic boat is an absolute beauty too.

First time in Wells - Very interesting insight into the history of the life boats and Lucy Lavers maiden shout to support the evacuation of troops from Dunkirk.
We thoroughly enjoyed our late afternoon trip . We were lucky with the weather enjoying seeing the sun setting.

Fantastic experience, lovely memories - We really enjoyed the sunset trip, hearing about the Lucy Lavers and seeing Wells from a different perspective.
It really was a friendly, fun experience made all the more so by Liam and Mark's kindness. The hot chocolate was an unexpected but very welcome bonus!
My husband has been telling friends and family how good the trip was so hopefully you’ll get some more customers next year.
Thanks again from Sharon and Nick.

Great sunset evening on Lucy Lavers - Great trip and very informative about the lifeboats that have worked from wells and how the Lucy lavers played a role in 1940 at Dunkirk, I highly recommend this trip out

Excellent - It was wonderful. The Guys on the Boat were super friendly. They told us various stories about the RNLI and their Boats, as well as stories about Wells and its Port. I know £30 sounds like a lot of money. But if you consider the cost of running and preserving a Boat like that, it's money we'll spend.
Personally I recommend to take the trip. It made it even more special once we heard the Story behind the Lucy Lavers.

Great evening spent on a beautiful boat with knowledgeable people. Thank you - What a privilege to sail on a boat that was part of the Little Boats of Dunkirk.
Both people on the boat were passionate and knowledgeable about all things boats and Wells ! A real credit to our heritage. Thank you.

Sunset Lucy - Highlights: the knowledgeable hosts, the signature hot chocolate, the beautiful mahogany bedecked boat. The only low light was the sun disappearing under the horizon, which was another memorable highlight.

A really worthwhile trip - What a fabulous sail we had. It was interesting and we all learned a lot. It was a lovely day too which made sailing easy. Thank you so much to the two guys who had such a wide knowledge about the boat, RNLI and the wind farms. All in all 10/10

The Must Do tour for anyone visiting North Norfolk - I can’t say enough how fantastic this cruise is. If you visit Wells this is a MUST DO! The dew are fantastically knowledgable about the history of The Lucy Lavers, the work of the RNLI and the history of their different boats - but most importantly about the Port of Wells in general. Top Marks for all involved. A national and Norfolk treasure

Fire drama! - We just happened to arrive as a fire was taking hold in the nature reserve across the water - a terrible thing to happen but fascinating to watch the drama unfold - lifeboats ferrying firemen and their equipment. Our crew were understandably completely diverted by this - so were we! So maybe we had a bit less info about wildlife than expected. But the history of the boat was fascinating and the crew were both informative and friendly.
