Fun! Interesting way to see the harbour. - What an insight to see the harbour from the water! Very helpful and informative team. Quite a laugh too. Gave us quirky facts and explained what we were seeing. The railway bridge from below and some of the old boats and wrecks were intriguing. It will be great to go back when the Gullwing bridge is completed. Good waterproofs provided if needed. All good!

A tour of Lake lothing - What an amazing tour of Lake Lothing with an interesting commentary on all the boats we were seeing. The wet gear was a must today and, despite being concerned if I would manage to get on board,it was easy with help from the crew.

Pleasant & gentle tour of the harbour. - A really lovely couple run this tour. A very pleasant way to see an otherwise inaccessible harbour. We had good weather & were lucky enough to watch the bridge raised to allow a large vessel to come through.

Great morning - We booked the harbour tour followed by the coastal trip. Very nice chaps, knowledgeable, fun and looked after us well. The harbour tour was relaxing interesting all about lowestoft history and the other an exhilarating experience, up to kessingland then to corton before returning to the harbour. Loved seeing my town from a different perspective. Highly recommended for all ages.

Great Trip weith a Great Crew - This was the first of a series of cruises around Lowestoft Harbour and up Lake Loting to look at the history of the area from a marine perspective. It was great fun and an outstanding excursion. The people on board had an incredible knowledge of the area and particularly the wartime history down to the number of air raid sirens sounded in Lowestoft throughput the war years. The skipper and crew were knowledgeable, humerous and great fun. This is a trip I would thoroughly recommend, the weather happened to be fantastic which always helps but the trip was extremely well run and highly enjoyable. Look forward to trying others. Just what Lowestoft needs. Thanks to all.
