Sailing on a Tall ship was amazing

Shar 13 September 2020

An incredible experience on a beautiful old dame of the sea. The crew were friendly, helpful and accommodating to our needs. The food was wholesome and delicious. Loved the opportunity to climb the Mison mast and help with setting the sails. Couldn’t recommend Captain James, First Nate Howard and the crew more. Overall an unforgettable experience. Many thanks.

No whales but lovely staff

The ship was beautiful, and the crew was so so lovely!!! sadly we didnt see any whales and we got quite sea sick, so we didnt enjoy the cruise very much. Also, this company doesnt do refunds or voucher, so be careful!!!

The whale watching was really good

The operator and staff were excellent. Everything ran smoothly and on schedule. Unfortunately had very rough weather making for a challenging experience and the trip had to be cut short. Crew and staff were very professional and reassuring.

Fantastic day on the water

The experience takes about five hours which gives you a greater chance of seeing whales and just chill on the boat listening to the wind and ocean without an engine disrupting your experience. The boat is great and there are opportunities to help the crew and even climb the mast if you feel to do so (and there is only a handful of other customers onboard). The staff is really friendly and knowledgeable, they will do their best to make you feel welcome. Highly recommended for families, couples and sailing lovers.
