4.00The young crew members were really good and welcoming. The checking in was straightforward. More information before hand would have been helpful. Didn’t meet my expectations and I didn’t think it was value for money. Plenty of green mussels and bread but salmon was rationed! In fact the captain asked me if I had a portion already , which I didn’t but it shouldn’t have mattered,🤣the wine was reasonably priced and crew very attentive.
A wonderful afternoon

5.00The whole experience was amazing, Chelsea assist us with booking enquiries to suit our limited availability and Captain Fred not only sailed the yacht but treated us to perfectly cooked mussels & fresh king salmon. The on-board facilities were fantastic with vast selection of local beers & wines. The crew were fantastic and made the whole experience unforgettable.
Great to see the sounds close up.
