Loads of dolphins and seals - My daughter and I sail regularly on wildlife tours, and as Peninsula locals, we both love Moonraker. We’ve been on a variety of boats, and this vessel is big, clean, and provides awesome visibility. The crew were all equally friendly, and excited to show us the local marine life. We loved our tour, and would highly recommend.

Wonderful, exceptional experience! - We booked the 1.5hr cruise for NYE, after wanting to do something unique. We were not disappointed! The crew was absolutely excellent in their customer service, communication and expert knowledge. Torie was a wonderful skipper and we especially appreciated the clear communication and guidance leading to the day and informing us of any changes. The food onboard was delicious and very well priced! I would definitely recommend the 1.5hr cruise if you don’t want to get into the water on the first go. We were lucky enough to see lots of dolphins, seals, birds and even a feeding frenzy for fish! A wonderful experience with 5 star company! Thankyou team. Will be back 😊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Gave us incorrect time on phone and blamed us for not checking email - Absolutely gutted. We had booked the day before for a 2pm cruise, verablly confirmed over the phone, and then they rescheduled to 1:30. No phone call, No SMS, No urgent email. Apparently I was supposed to notice the time change in a payment confirmation email. No apology when we arrived, completely embarrassed that myself and our visitors overseas couldn't go on the tour (We had arrived at 1:35). Had to push HARD for a refund, which they are now hand balling us to groupon for. Can't say anything about the cruise itself, but I can tell you the management is very poor. They seem like the kind of company you better call on the day so they don't f**k you up.
