“Absolute blast. Thank you. We were pleasantly greeted, assisted with putting on coats and life jackets. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. They made sure to help everyone on the boat, doing checks and explaining things thoroughly. The driver was full of personality and tbh I laughed and cheered and some might find this strange but it was soooo peaceful for me roaring and spinning and turning in the boat around the harbour. And boy, does that boat have a motor. Thanks guys.”
