What to expect
You'll board a passenger vessel and settle in as crew fire up the BBQ. Food arrives course-style—expect simple, warm grilled fare rather than restaurant plating. Between bites, you'll hear facts about the harbour's ecology and local landmarks. The deck can be breezy, so layers help. Other passengers range from families with young kids to groups celebrating birthdays. The bar operates throughout, and you can move between shaded and open areas as you prefer.
Good to know
Bring a light jacket for evening chill. Buggies and pushchairs welcome but space is limited on busy sailings. Service animals permitted. Public transport links nearby if you prefer not to drive. Book ahead in peak season.
