Gentle Harbour Cruise

Emily, the host was very knowledgeable of the harbour, shore and sea life. It was a nice way to spend the evening of a long weekend. Enjoyed the harbour cruise very very smooth. (Son) Good to be able to purchase snacks and drinks onboard and also able to bring own food. Emily had activity packs for kids which was a great idea. Casual family atmosphere. Managed to see the cruise ship leave and cruise around the docks. Massive harbour. Would recommend.
