Guest Reviews
October 2025
"Just finished up the charter yesterday. It was the most fantastic experience, we got to see lots of whales up close (almost touching the boat) and the weather was generally great. We were two families visiting from Ireland (with some grown-up/late teenage kids) and it really was the experience of a lifetime. I just wanted to compliment Adrian, Megs, Gaby and Connor – they were absolutely superb in every respect and fantastic ambassadors for the boat and for Australia generally. The food was phenomenal (Megs is some find!), Adrian’s navigation skills and overall calmness/control of the yacht and the professionalism and helpfulness of the team all round was top class. They asked for feedback on anything they could improve and we literally couldn’t offer any suggestions, it was that good. The boat itself is just amazing and the design and layout are simply perfect."
