Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a small 40th celebration for 5 people on Castaway and it was an amazing day out. David was quick to respond, helpful and flexible to wait for the weather to improve on the morning so that we had an amazing day out and still enjoyed the full day. Went to a beautiful swimming spot and couldn’t do enough to make sure we were having a great time.

I hired Castaway as a 60th birthday present for my husband. I booked it for four hours which was plenty of time to motor out to Old Harry from Poole Quay and then anchor up behind Brownsea for a spot of lunch before a dip in the sea. Would definitely hire again as it was a great way to celebrate a birthday. David was a very good and knowledgeable captain who provided just the right amount of attention whilst allowing us to enjoy the experience.

I booked a half day( 4 hour trip) and it exceeded all expectations. We were blessed with nice weather so we were able to sit up top and enjoy the beautiful scenery with a glass of fizz in hand. The boat itself was very clean and David was friendly and knowledgeable about all the lovely sights. We anchored up in Studland Bay and it was just the perfect ending to a really lovely day. Do not hesitate to recommend.

The owner our captain advised us the best course to go to. Thanks very much for all your help, advice. You made our day really memorable. We had six adults friends, family including four children ranging from 9 up to 15.

I booked a day trip with 12 friends to celebrate my 50th birthday. What a day! A beautiful looking boat that was immaculately clean and with plenty of space for us, our food and drink. David was friendly and knowledgeable, giving us lots of information about the sights we were seeing, but did not intrude in any way. The weather was amazing and we had two swims off the boat, saw the sights of Old Harry Rocks, guillemots, Durlston Castle, Sandbanks with it's million pound houses and our stunning jurassic coastline. Cannot recommend highly enough for a special occasion; it went far too fast!

Our friends organised Castaway Charters day trip for us as a surprise on what would have been our wedding day as our wedding had been postponed until 2021. It was the perfect way to have spent the day. Luckily the weather was amazing. David took us right up to Old Man for some pictures and then to a beautiful area to have a swim. David was really friendly and relaxed leaving us to enjoy our day. Would definitely recommend Castaway Charters for groups of friends and families.

Lived in Poole over 35 years. Loved the Red Arrows over the beach for years pre air show. Since the seen the Air Show from Exec tents to cliff tops.......Not The Same! MUST SEE IT? From this boat......Fab Fab Fab! 10 of us had a great time with our own food and of course drink! The boat was clean, spacious and no no nos! David was a no messing around Captain with excellent knowledge of the event, timings impeccable, with Tornado, the Spit and Red Arrows and a tranquil lunch at Old Harry! Our group can say in no uncertain terms.... Best Way to see the Air Show.

We hired the boat for a friend's Birthday. We had such a brilliant day. Bubbles, cake and fantastic views of the beautiful Poole Harbour and Old Harry Rocks. We had a lovely swim at Studland and then a warm shower which was very welcome. Thank you David for making our experience so enjoyable. We would highly recommend it.

Excellent day out. Believe all the reviews below, the boat is very comfortable and well equipped. Different areas allow you to spread out and move around. David is a great skipper, knowledgeable and experienced. Would be our first choice if we were to do this again. Highly recommended!
