Outing Highlights
Ready‑to‑Run Sea Master with Safety Kit
Each hire includes buoyancy aids for everyone, oars and mud weights, and the boat is covered for wet conditions; you receive a short tuition before leaving the quay so you'll be ready to handle the craft.
Easy, Self‑Directed Outings — Pet Friendly
The service is deliberately simple: self‑drive operation after a brief lesson, with pets accepted (up to two dogs). The setup suits groups who want control of their own itinerary without complex licensing.
Flexible Daily to Fortnight Hires & Clear Return Rules
Hires run from one to fourteen days and are governed by an explicit return policy for the last day of hire; the operator also reserves the right to request a security deposit in some cases.
