Fabulous location and beautiful yacht. All staff incredibly polite and attentive. Food excellent sandwiches, scones and cakes. Bottomless coffee and tea. Our Gluten free request was fulfilled and a good selection of food. Plenty of time to spend with family and friends, never felt like we were being rushed to leave. We were able to have a drink in the bar before and after our tea. The outside deck was unavailable to sit due to the weather which was understandable. Would definitely recommend and would return.
