Lovely experience, great food, and lots of it, the staff even came around and offered seconds and thirds. The only letdown was that it was scheduled to depart at 11.30am, but it was delayed as we had to wait for late comers. Didn't end up departing until 12.10 pm (40 minutes later). Not really fair on those who made the effort to be on time. Confirmation email should state that boat will depart at the exact time - no exceptions for late arrivals.

We've never been on Lady Cutler before, it was an interesting experience. We were here for a work break-up xmas party, so we didn't experience a show and wecalso realise that it was more than just our work group that was onboard Seating on the boat can be narrow on the outskirts as guests pass each other by and as the nights gets on, slippery caused from spills and shattered glass (we can't imagine how many glass and bottles get dropped into the bay). Very sticky floors inside Smoking is allowed onboard, but shame that it doesn't get respected by the guests on board as it doesn't get put out properly and becomes smokey for other guests and non-smokers, however staff didn't attend to it either to put it out for some time Catering and bar staff were nice. The music on the lower deck was good, but can be conflicting with the upper deck with the band. Good to see people having a good time though. We did enjoy the route,but was good to see and experience the bay and surroundings in a different view and afternoon sunset.
