Great day out on the RIB! Initially, I have to admit I found things a little daunting, as Andy seemed understandably cautious about letting me charter the boat given my perceived lack of experience. However, once we got underway, I had a fantastic day and really enjoyed the experience. The RIB was excellent, performed brilliantly and was great fun to handle. Andy’s initial concerns were understandable, and I appreciated that he wanted to make sure I was comfortable and capable before heading out. Overall, it was a brilliant day on the water and an experience I would happily repeat. I’d definitely recommend the RIB hire and would use them again.
