The large aft deck, can be fully enclosed, if required, making it completely waterproof and warm. At sea level, there is a bathing platform with sturdy steps, taking you down to the water. For those not wishing to climb down to sea level, there is ample space with a good view on the aft deck. We include tea/coffee with either pastries or cakes. There is a toilet on board and plenty of comfortable seating, both inside and out. ‘Good Times’ is skippered and crewed by the owners, who ensure attention to detail & always offer a friendly, warm welcome.

(*subject to availability). We offer midweek trips between May and September departing 10am or 6pm. Longer trips are available both midweek and weekends, with departures morning or afternoons. |
