VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!
Glynn_G

We traveled from Milford on sea just to go on a cruise around the jurassic coast and was looking even more forward to old Harry's rocks. Neither happened. This was yesterday 19th October and the weather was lovely and calm. When we got off the boat we asked the kiosk lady why and she said it was due to the weather. Had we of been told this before we boarded the boat, we wouldn't of wasted our hard earned cash. VERY Disappointing!!!

Unfortunately due to the sea swell our boat was unable to go beyond Old Harry's Rocks, that said the captain still made sure we had our alloted 2 hours on the boat and was able to show us some othrt interesting things. Definitely worth the money.

Cruise with Confidence

Fabulous. We couldn’t make it around to Swange as the sea was rough, however the Captain instead incorporated Poole Harbour and Blood Channel with commentary instead which made up the full 2hrs. Overall we saw the best of all the different cruises. Apart from that the cruise was well run and value.

We are locals and thought it would be an enjoyable trip to see our coast line from the water. This trip didn't disappoint in any way. Increcible views and with the talk was amazed at some of the history too. Thanks to the crew who had a sense of humour made our afternoon pleasurable and fun. Value for money. Would definitely recommend 👌 😃
