It was a really well organised trip. Great commentary on board about the area. Unfortunately i felt somewhat sea sick nearly half way into the journey so i can't tell you much sbout the bar/snacks facilities apart from saying it looked like a great place to get a tea/coffee/other beverage/snack area. If i hadn't felt so yuk i would have enjoyed it much more. I would highly recommend it.

Though the day started with gloomy sky and rain poured, our guide, Paul Knight did a fantastic job. He was absolutely knowledgeable, warm and friendly. The scenery was absolutely magnificent.

Paul was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the day. The sights and views were breathtaking and more than we bargained for. This trip was worth every penny and more.

Very happy to see the Jurassic Coast and excellent commentary. The boat was not crowded and plenty of space. Overall excellent experience and will recommend to my friends.

Lovely trip. Very picturesque. Staff very friendly and commentary informative
