It wasn’t the same boat as the picture so me and my family of 5 couldn’t sit on the top roof. If you sit in the back all of the fumes chock you. If you sit in the front the view is limited and you can’t hear anything the “tour guide” in the speakers say because there aren’t enough speakers covering each corner. There was a stop over as well at the bay which was not on the itinerary. Complete waste of money. All we did was go around the bay and by the marina and back… the captain was lovely and the journey was safe which is most important but the rest of it was lacklustre.

The trip can either be seated inside or on the outdoor upper deck. The history of the area is explained as is the various features such as locks weirs and yacht club marinas

The boat wasn’t open top as shown in the advert. Couldn’t hear the guide narrating. Like a shuttle bus. Waste of time.

Disappointed the boat didn’t have outdoor seating as advertised, engine fuels really bad! Nothing really to see when out in the bay, waste of money.
