We set sail at Moel Y Don myself and 6 other male members of our family. Charles's knowledge of the local area added to the thrills and spills of the rib ride. Charles made the 2hour plus experience exhilarating with his professional approach and expert boating skills!. A great start to a family weekend in Beaumaris. We all had a... More

The best boat ride ever!! We were spoilt by winter sun and phenomenal views of the Menai Straits. Phil's knowledge of the local area and passion for what he does made him an excellent skipper. Recommend this to locals and visitors alike! More

We have just returned from a long weekend on Anglesey and booked the ribride (by phone) beforehand. We boarded at Moel Y Don and went out towards the open sea via Caernarfon. Be prepared for a fantastic high speed ride as the boat skims the waves under Charles' experienced control. His 'doughnuts' were better than any Formula 1 driver! He... More

Ride lasted just over an hour and was great fun from start to finish. We went all through the straits doing spins etc at speed and were... More

I took my two children on the boat during our summer holiday, we spent the morning in Caernarfon castle then caught the boat from the slipway by Victoria Docks. Charles the driver made everyone feel at ease, the boat was spotless and we saw the coastline and mountains from a very different perspective. The power of the boat was fantastic... More

We had the most amazing afternoon .. glorious sunshine, setting off from Victoria Dock, Caernarfon on a 'rib ride' (inflatable) that holds a dozen people speeding up the Menai Straights towards Puffin Island. (It is a beautiful water way between Anglesey and the mainland of north Wales, with so many interesting sights, culminating at Puffin Island, where thousands of sea... More

I have to say this is one of the best boat trips I have been on. Quality life jackets supplied, gorgeous RIB, our captain, Tom, was totally professional. The trip was informative and fun, with great views of the Menai Bridges, surrounding scenery, and a nosey where the posh people live!...The hour sped by, but luckily, we aren't holiday makers,...

Treated my 2 boys, partner and father (70) they had a wonderful time and well worth the money. Don't miss this if you are visiting North Wales, even if you aren't staying on Angelsey it is worth the short journey over for it. Will certainly be visiting again. More
