Outstanding Afternoon on the Water - Very enjoyable afternoon spent cruising the waters off of Picton. The boat was comfortable and clean, the crew very friendly, and the lunch of fresh green lipped mussels and grilled salmon was very tasty. And the scenery was gorgeous as our captain took us into small coves and inlets.
Only drawback was that samples of local wines were not included in the price, but this was a minor inconvenience.
All told it was an outstanding afternoon on a beautiful day.

An enjoyable experience for all family members - One of the best cruise trips we have ever had. Lorene & Fred are both amazing and very knowledgeable. I was a bit concern if 3 hours is a long trip for my little boy but Lorene kindly provided some activity for him and made the trip more enjoyable for all of us. Food was perfectly cooked and very well presented.

This was a disappointment as we did not expect anything other than tasting size glasses and took a notebook to record those wines we liked. We had to purchase wine by the glass no tastings of any description was provided. Other than that it was a good tour . The ticket should clearly state that wine was available for purchase not that a wine tasting was included.
