Excellent cruise - Fantastic cruise around Poole harbour, the islands and back. The crew were friendly and had a great sense of humour. Very informative about the area. The boat was clean, comfortable and had excellent facilities on board. Both hot, cold and alcoholic drinks were available with light snacks. We were lucky to have beautiful sunny weather and a wonderful couple of hours at sea. Excellent value for money and highly recommended.

A great trip from Poole - I was staying in Bournemouth for a few days and decided to have a trip around Poole harbour. I hadn't realised Poole harbour was as large as it was. With many islands you can't see from the harbour. The commentary was very good from the crew. Refreshments if required and a toilet. Plenty of seating below and above to have good views. It's a 70 minute cruise an you do get a full 70 min's. Easily booked from the kiosk on the harbour showing the next trip.

Great boat trip experience - Great trip around the islands and through Poole Harbour. Bar with refreshments and drinks available for the journey. Good value for money and trip is around an hour long which is perfect for a trip out in the day. Boat crew were friendly and helpful.

A great evening out - Very approachable team, the booking was straight forward, great team on board. We had 120 guests and they all loved it. 3 hours around Poole harbour and Purbeck plus sunset was just a bonus

Very poor - Very poor service. Me and my mom booked 2 tickets and we reached 2 mins before time. Even though we requested a lot they refused us to get in.
