With very short notice Mark pulled together a fantastic day for my family. The boat was superb, comfortable and safe for kids. We zoomed around the harbour and saw seals outside the pass. The teams local knowledge and attention to all our needs was absolutely faultless. Many thanks for a memorable day. Hughes Family.
