Great day out on Shamu, skippered by Mike and looked after on board by Dave. Great day was had by all, simply fantastic, safe and exhilarating good fun. Everyone had a great time, starting with breakfast, drinks and snacks onboard, a lunch trip to Salty’s in Yarmouth and back early evening. Could not fault the day out at all, so if you ever wanted to charter then try it.. you will not regret it.
