very good organisation, free parking, toilet facilities. Well prepared for the weather (raining unfortunately). Information on the boat was very informative

Rather expensive for an hour ride. Perhaps consider a discount when the party is quite large. Was a splendid cruise. Always peaceful out on the water. The option of sitting under cover with full visibility was an extra bonus. The bar facilities was great. Perhaps consider having some sandwiches iso just a choice of 2 sweet biscuits. We were a party of 17 with young adults whom get very hungry all the time and we were celebrating a 50th birthday. Your ad did say eats available for purchase (bring cash) so we brought no snacks with. Staff were friendly and helpful.
