Wonderful day on water - Loved it. The yacht was great, the crew was very friendly and informative. They had hot coffee and tea with cookies which was great as it was quite cold outside. Would highly recommend and was worth the price.

Fantastic family voyage - We sailed on the catamaran and were grateful for the change of ship. For our particular needs, a 60th family celebration, this was perfect. Plenty of space for our own lunch platter, a comfy seat for the matriarch and room to move. The skipper and guide were brilliant, knowledgeable and very friendly. Loved the carvings and the swim was a highlight
