Great cruise! - We had a fantastic day on the Port River cruise! The weather was perfect, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins, which was a highlight for the kids. Our guide and captan Ethan, was knowledgeable and engaging, making the experience even more enjoyable. The boat was very kid-friendly, with plenty of space for them to explore safely. Overall, it was a memorable day filled with fun and adventure. Highly recommend for families looking for a great time on the water!

Excellent Trip - We enjoyed a lovely cruise with Chris and Damien, saw loads of seabirds and ships but the highlight was, of course, the dolphins. So special to have one swim alongside the boat. Thank you for such a memorable experience.

Relaxing - Really enjoyed the history of the old ship skeletons, Sam had done his research, the history of the port and industry along its shores also very interesting, unfortunately the dolphins were away on this day, a good trip all round.

A dump for a few old boats in an industrial setting. I was thinking of the dolphin sanctuary. - A dump for a few old boats in an industrial setting. Not that interresting. No character. A waste of time. Crew OK. A mistake. I had thought I could see part of the dolphin sanctuary from the water.
