Beautifully restored RNLI and Dunkirk Veteran Lifeboat. This boat was involved in the evacuations of operation Dynamo also saved 44 lives as an RNLI lifeboat. This Historic boat is an absolute beauty too.

A really worthwhile trip - What a fabulous sail we had. It was interesting and we all learned a lot. It was a lovely day too which made sailing easy. Thank you so much to the two guys who had such a wide knowledge about the boat, RNLI and the wind farms. All in all 10/10

The Must Do tour for anyone visiting North Norfolk - I can’t say enough how fantastic this cruise is. If you visit Wells this is a MUST DO! The dew are fantastically knowledgable about the history of The Lucy Lavers, the work of the RNLI and the history of their different boats - but most importantly about the Port of Wells in general. Top Marks for all involved. A national and Norfolk treasure

Superb- the boat, the tour, the guides. - We absolutely loved this tour. We learnt so much about the local history and geography. It was a very memorable trip with such knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful guides. The children will always remember helming the old lifeboat. Thank you.

Very highly recommended - Our trip on the Lucy Lavers was amazing! We went in the early evening and the light and the views were just stunning. Both crew members were very friendly and informative: this is a real must if you’re in the area! Thanks folks!

A special journey - We chartered the Lucy Lavers to scatter my father's ashes at sea. He was a Master Mariner and so this was a fitting and very special final voyage for him. The combination of fine weather, the beautiful historic lifeboat and fantastic crew made this an emotional and unforgettable experience. Liam and Dave handled the trip with sensitivity and it was great that we had the opportunity to share stories of the Lucy Lavers and my father's life.

Fire drama! - We just happened to arrive as a fire was taking hold in the nature reserve across the water - a terrible thing to happen but fascinating to watch the drama unfold - lifeboats ferrying firemen and their equipment. Our crew were understandably completely diverted by this - so were we! So maybe we had a bit less info about wildlife than expected. But the history of the boat was fascinating and the crew were both informative and friendly.
