The boat can get very...

5.00The boat can get very full when taking a trip that coincides with the BBQ cruise however the return trip was nice a quiet. Lovely old ship. Being able to walk into the engine room and see it from above was a really unique experience, the small museum is informative and there is informative commentary along the way. A lovely way to spend the evening.
Worth it
