Lovely little cruise round the harbour - We enjoyed this cruise round the harbour. The staff gave an informative yet amazing commentary during the trip. The day we travelled the weather wasn’t brilliant but we enjoyed it so much so booked another longer trip a couple of days later. It was amazing and the weather was fantastic so much so we came back with sun tans so good we could have been abroad ( factor 50 used all the while). The staff are great and really earn their money

Better than expected. - Fabulous tour of the harbour. Informative and witty commentary. Regardless of how warm it is on shore do take a light jacket or cardigan as it gets quite chilly at sea.
