Shabby Rundown Boat - far from 5 star as advertised
robynwalton,Nov 22, 2025

1.00The large boat, which is advertised on their website, is not the boat we went on. The boat was half the size and very rundown. I specifically chose this cruise, as it departed from Number 2 wharf, which was not a long walk from the tram. When I arrived I was told that the large boat was having work done to it, and the small boat was on Number 6 wharf, a very long walk all the way to the end of the walkway. I asked if they had any transport to number 6 and the answer was no. Very rundown, they advertise they have a bar, there was no bar, they advertise they are 5 star, I would rate it 1 star. Another cruise company cruised past us, and I knew that I had chosen the wrong cruise company straight away. There is a lift from the street but then a large set of stairs, about 30, to get down to the wharf. No facilities for disabled access.
