Glad to hear you enjoyed cruising with us! It definitely does get chilly out on the bay. Thanks for the 5-stars!

We missed the Twilight Cruise by 10 minutes but were able to return the following morning for the one hour cruise before flying back to England in the afternoon. All staff were very helpful and friendly. The only criticism we have is the fact that the recorded commentary was not always loud enough to be heard over the music and engine noise. We realised too late that we could have had headphones but hadn’t been told this. Apart from this, a very enjoyable trip.

Asia (bar tender) was probably the nicest person we’ve met in a long time. Also the young woman taking our ticket before boarding. She was professional, genuine and enthusiastic. The ship capt was knowledgeable, energetic and friendly. It was a truly enjoyable experience, thank you. Staff too.
