A fabulous afternoon cruise!! - The cruise today was fantastic. Pete was so funny; he made the trip extra special with his knowledge, easy attitude and professionalism. The whole cruise was extremely enjoyable from beginning to end and we cannot recommend Pete and the crew highly enough.

Chill out for 1.5hrs - This was a lovely chill relaxing way to see the city and the big mansions and yachts. Our Captain was hilarious, a real natural wit. I wasnt that interested in the sights, but I really enjoyed a relaxing 1.5hrs just drifting up and down the river.
