Great experience and seeing the coastline of Dorset, we had a beautiful day and it was nice to feel the sea breeze in such hot weather. We also learnt about the coastline and what went on. I wold also like to add our commentator James was excellent and gave us a few chuckles along the way!

lovely weaher on the day, lovely views. would have liked a bit more commitary on the way back. A pleasent trip all in all
We booked this trip as a relaxing day out together, the commentary was funny and added to what we were seeing out on the water.
We saw lots of Poole Harbour and Old Harry Rocks, but couldn't go any further due to the sea conditions, but enjoyed our trip out.
A great afternoon with stunning views of the spectacular Dorset coastline. The trip came with a commentary which was very interesting. The boat was a good size and had plenty of seating inside and out as well as a small bar/cafe. Would definitely recommend.
It was nice fun no hassle i had good time with family staff was good and over all the commentary was fun to listen
Possibly the most enjoyable boat trip I have taken. 2 and a half hours in total (with crew lunch break), amazing scenery and informative and witty commentary on both directions of the trip, with no information doubled up. Spacious and clean boat, and friendly staff. Thank you!
Wry enjoyable smooth boat ride. Very good explanation of all that was around. Quite funny at times. Will definitely do it again when I come to stay with friends in Bournemouth next year
Excellent trip. We really enjoyed the scenic route.Commentary was funny and drinks on board were reasonable.
Value for money, great sight seeing, jurassic coast encounter with subtle nuanced descriptions, bar and conveniences.
It was a good experience however as it was a lovely day we really wanted to sit outside unfortunately most seats were in side very hot and didn't smell very nice. Managed to get outside seat on return journey. Beautiful scenery and commentary very good
Disappointed paid for 2 hours did not do the 2 hours they only did an hour apparently due to the choppy sea
So if they know this sea pattern why charge for 2 hours?
We were fortunate to get seats on deck, but there aren’t a lot. A great narration of the places we passed on our way to Swannage.
Have to be Flexible if Sea conditions are not good. That what have to be prepared for.
It was another trip
Fab experience, very informative and great sense of humour from captain and all other staff. Definitely recommend.
We had an enjoyable trip around the huge Poole Harbour and beyond. To coincide with the sunnier hours that day, we chose the 3:45 boat and the weather and cruise didn't disappoint l. Commentry was fun and informative in equal measure. Would recommend.
A lovely trip with just the right amount of commentary. Interesting facts about local landmarks. Would recommend.
That there were no signs telling us where to board, the person at the kiosk told us that boarding would be at the kiosk. It was pure luck that we saw another family running along the quay to where the boat had actually docked. My 86 year old mother had to hurry in order to not miss the boat. The only outside seats left were on an uncomfortable wooden garden bench.
It didn't go ahead. We did get a 50% refund and a transfer to a different, shorter cruise, but I can't really comment on the Jurassic one
We had a fantastic time, saw lots of wildlife, including a seal. Great commentary and highly recommend
Excellent tour with great banter from the captain and his crew. Although we didn’t do the full circuit due to weather conditions they made it enjoyable and informative
Really good boat trip, would recommend to anyone. The children enjoyed the boat ride as much as the adults
Guide making homophobic comments over the loudspeaker ruined my experience. Offensive and possibly illegal behaviour
Cut short due to bsd weather although it was not rough outside the harbour. Missed out on seeing the coast which is the point of the trip. Was offered a soft drink as compensation . Shouls be a 50% refund at least
A really enjoyable and informative cruise. Ages 18 to 76 and everyone enjoyed it. Very sunny, so needed suncream.
You will see a bit of the chalk cliffs, which are between Dorset and Swanage. Good commentary of the journey.
The facts you learn while onboard are great and it was a great day, next time we will get off halfway and spend the day in Swanage
Great experience and seeing the coastline of Dorset, we had a beautiful day and it was nice to feel the sea breeze in such hot weather. We also learnt about the coastline and what went on. I wold also like to add our commentator James was excellent and gave us a few chuckles along the way!
friendly staff,
very helpful, informative and kind.
we did miss our 10 am ferry but the kind lady allowed us to board the next one.
Great crossing between Poole and Swanage
The Jurassic coast is splendid and the boat gets close enough to be able to take beautiful photos!
