5.00Awesome, Fantabulous experience, totally loved the 2.5 hour sail. Lisa served us amazing muffins, great wine, a chilled beer and of course they have unlimited coffee. The captain was awesome, giving us a beautiful fun down of the history of every site. The ship is awesome, well maintained and of course you can enjoy the ride at a beautiful vantage point on the lower deck. The upper deck is beautiful and gives you some super nice views. Wonderful experience, would highly recommend the 2.5 your cruise.
Leisurely cruise

5.00Leisurely cruise along the Tamar River with my sister on a beautiful sunny morning . Lovely morning tea , a very athletic lady (lisa ?) up and down the narrow stairs with muffins , fruit , coffee pots and hot water . I would have liked a bit more commentary on passing sights , admittedly the captain was being earbashed by a couple of passengers for quite a while ! Very relaxing 2.5 hours .
beautiful and informative
