This is an absolute must if you’re in the Ipswich area! Huge shout out to the team on Allen Gardiner who were extremely friendly and the service was impeccable. The live commentary from the Captain was humorous and engaging. Not avid sea goers we were extremely comfortable on board. The facilities were spotless including toilets and drinks were served throughout the 3 hour cruise. This is one that we will certainly recommend to friends and family. A beautiful little treat for our 43rd Wedding Anniversary. ☀️☀️?

My wife and I took this cruise with friends on a Saturday evening. Lovely little boat, it only takes a maximum of 12 people, and very friendly crew of three. We could sit outside at the front or the rear but dining was inside on two tables of six. The food was excellent and the wine was very good quality. The cruise set off from Fox's Marina at 7.30pm on the river Orwell at a leisurely pace and got back about 10 pm. The views were great and we were treated to a spectacular sun set. We had a great evening and I would be happy to do it again. If you fancy something different when visiting Ipswich then this is for you.

I really didn't know what to expect from this cruise along the Orwell in March. But the skipper provided just enough history of the river and places we passed without becoming boring. The lunchtime a la carte menu was surprisingly varied and quality of food very good. I would recommend this meal & sail cruise

Great value for money. We've been on 2 sunset cruises and one brunch. If it's cold there is a log burning stove in the dining room which makes it very cosy. Only seats 12 so very easy to meet ther people too. The captain has a good sense of humour and shares many of his jokes.

Lovely boat, food, staff, scenery and great value for money, we will be back.
I have just one tiny criticism and that is having local radio playing. I was able to turn it off in the dining room but not in other areas. It didn't spoil the trip but it would have been even better than perfect with it off.
Highly recommended.
