Summary:
We went on this cruise this evening and I must say it was so enjoyable. Ollie our Captain was amazing. He took my 10 year old son in and let him steal the boat from Irelands eye right back to the harbour. My son now wants to be a sailor.
We had a beautiful evening and learnt lots about boats too.
Thanks so much I couldn't recommend this tour any more highly
