“Coffee cruise on the harbour”

Reviewed 14 May 2012

The next two hours were just great. The vessel was clean and comfortable, the crew were friendly and efficient, and the harbour was calm. It was a fantastic... More

Avoid the buffet and take the a-la-carte option as that enables you to go around twice. Without exception tourists fall in love with our harbour and the waterfront properties, and this really is the best possible introduction to... More
