Great way to spend an hour, very good value for money.

Booked this half hour before I went, had a few hours spare. A lovely trip in the marina on a beautiful yacht, the trip was made by how nice and friendly the staff were , happy to take as many photos for the guests only about 10 people on the trip which made it feel more personal. Captains music choice spot on. Definitely go again.

Boat trip with great views

The one-hour boat trip is highly recommended. From the boat, you get a different view of the city with its stunning skyline and pass many sights.

Lovely nighttime boat trip

We took a 1 hour evening cruise around the marina with exclusive yachts. Very well organised you book on line then take your booking confirmation to the ticket office at the marina you'll be given a boarding ticket. There is a waiting room where they call your number when its time to board The boat was very clean and quite comfortable There were plenty of little stools on board the boat to sit , gentle music playing whilst travelling around the sites it goes past the very colourful big wheel and right around the marina Its a very gentle journey there was also chilled water containers if wanted a drink and toilet facilities onboard The staff wre very good ftiendly and on hand with any queries or any information needed also took family pictures helping to capture the colourful sites of the Marina and ensuring everyone's safety Really enjoyed it you can go on longer journeys with dinner etc but this fitted in with our schedule nicely
