Take a look at some recent reviews from our customers: 

• “Such great fun! Felt safe and secure riding the waves at speed. Our ages ranged from 70 down to 4 and this suited everyone. Kids loved seal spotting. Will was a great guide and knew the tides/sea so could advise the best route for our time (2-hour trip). A great morning, we got slightly wet but nowhere near as wet as I thought we would be. The kids have already requested we rebook for next year.” April 2024

• “Fantastic boat trip (90-minute trip from Rock) – a fast, comfortable & safe boat. We had a great sighting of dolphins for about 20 minutes right next to the boat. Liam our skipper was helpful and knowledgeable. All around, a really good experience.” April 2024

• “Andy and Liam were great fun and they knew a lot about the local landmarks and history. The boat trip itself was great. Although you can never rely on wildlife to be about, we were lucky to see loads of birds, a porpoise and a pod of dolphins.” April  2024
