This experience was exceptional. The captain and crew were incredibly welcoming and very attentive throughout the entirety of the sail. We were provided with a unique experience, a stunning sunset and a delicious cheese platter. Especially recommend the pumpkin chutney.

Relaxing with great commentary by the hosts. Good platter and drink selection ❤️ Had a bit of a swell but didn't get queasy at all. Overall great experience

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Pilgrim (and it sounds like you too) handles the sea and any swell very well so we're pleased you got to enjoy all aspects of the cruise!

Had accidentally booked for two months later. But crew were able to get me on and prepare food for me and my partner. Selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and the cheese boards were great. Staff were welcoming and catered to everyone’s needs. Highly recommend this for anyone coming to Maggie.
