    Great cruise on a lovely day. Commentary was good by Smiler the captain. We got lovely views of The Jurassic cliffs and caves and Old Harry Rocks,Sandbanks and Brownsea Island,stopped in Swanage where some people disembarked to sightsee and others joined after being there. Fantastic value for money being a 2 hour cruise. - Elaine Pluckrose
