Day on the Derwent Hunter
Had an amazing day sailing on the Derwent Hunter. Had two opportunities to snorkel, even got to see sea turtles and so much more. Was very well supervised and felt safe the whole time. Lunch was delicious and the staff happy and attentive all day. Couldn't have asked for more.

The Rovers boat
Had a great time, the crew were wonderful and the sailing was great. The boat had a great history which was explained by the skipper. At one point she was the boat used in the RoVers television show of the early 70's as well as having many other interesting roles. Highly recommended.
